Studying International Relations was a conscious decision, I chose KJU for a reason. As a pragmatic professional I needed very practical knowledge that would be useful for my career back then and the career I planned for myself in the future. At the end of the training – thanks to the recommendation of the lecturers of the Department of Social Sciences – in the week following the final exam I was already working at the special state secretariat of the Ministry for National Economy.
