Studying at EUSP’s international programs helped me grow in three key ways. First, it provided me access to an international network of friends, acquaintances, and high-caliber professors that supported me during my studies and continues to support me five years later. Second, my time studying in EUSP’s ENERPO program served as a launchpad to my career as an energy industry journalist: EUSP is large and international enough to provide global career opportunities, and the city it’s in is local and vibrant enough to allow room for new ideas. Third, it gave me the gift of personal and professional growth that only an experience of trying to thrive in a world very foreign to one’s own can give.
For a young university graduate from the US who’s eager to take a deep dive into life in Russia’s cultural capital and receive a graduate degree that offers career opportunities, I cannot recommend EUSP’s international programs enough!
