Euroculture helped me hone soft skills and taught me frameworks to look at the world in different ways.

Not unimportant: the programme granted me international friends for life!

Wester Wagenaar (2014-2016)

Euroculture allowed me to get my foot in the door of a European career. It gave me a fresh new perspective on EU affairs, gender equality, art, policy and law. No other programme can give you that.

Rumen Halachev (2011-2013)

For me, Euroculture was an incredible multicultural experience that provided me with so many stimuli and challenges and that was key to step out of my comfort zone and broaden my horizons.

Being passionate about EU affairs and willing to work in an international environment, I found that graduating from Euroculture helped me to find jobs matching my interests.

Agnese Olmati (2017-2019)

Lina Mansour (2020-2022)

Euroculture has managed to introduce me to a variety of courses that I would not have had the chance to take in any other program.

I am especially grateful to the IP and thesis process as these two papers changed my life and I seem to discuss these experiences on a daily basis, whether on a professional level or on my personal journey.

My studies of Euroculture have significantly formed my understanding of Europe and of what it means to be European. I decided to stand for and promote European values in my personal and professional life since then.

Zdeňka Lammelová (2006-2008)

Euroculture helped me connect the dots between my undergraduate studies in communications and my passion for politics and social sciences. Not only did the programme provide me with invaluable memories and lifelong friendships, but also with a calling card to enter the job market in Brussels as both a comms and EU specialist.

Arianna Rizzi (2018-2020)

Through Euroculture, I gained the passion for and knowledge about my subject area - European food and agricultural politics - which led me to successfully apply for a joint Erasmus Mundus PhD in Politics and International Studies. On a personal level, I met lifelong friends from all over the world including a group we call our 'six pack'!

Sara Goler Solecki (2008-2010)

My Euroculture Master improved my academic thinking and consolidated my opinions about the idea of Europe. Working with my cohort still definitely has an impact on my team management skills.
