"BSIS offered me an excellent learning opportunity, helped me gain knowledge and experience necessary to get into trade policy research. At BSIS, I appreciated the international community, good professors, and encouragement to students who wanted to pursue current and emerging research topics. The research skills I acquired at BSIS were critical to my ability to pursue policy research and advocacy in Trade and Regulatory Affairs. The combination of previous work experience along with BSIS helped me to get into a career in policy research and advocacy."
"My most valuable experience at BSIS was the exposure to the EU institutions, diverse demographics of the city and the region, history and understanding of people. I made truly valuable friends and met classmates who came from all over the world. I certainly recommend BSIS to students who are enthusiastic to learn in cross-cultural and multidisciplinary environment. It is a great place to develop independent research skills, to enjoy small, seminar-style classes with varied perspectives from around the world and to work with attentive professors."
