What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you (in relation to your previous education)?
This programme has made me think deeply about the practical usage of International and European law in the context of migration. It has built upon my prior more abstract legal knowledge with practical insights. I’ve particularly enjoyed learning about fundamental rights protection in the context of migration and its theoretical strengths and practical weaknesses.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
I have always felt that asking questions is encouraged. There’s certainly a mix of teaching styles which keeps it interesting. All the students on the course have been very friendly. There are events organised which allow for greater informal interaction with staff members and other students.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
The most challenging aspect has been handling the workload of the first semester. After passing that hurdle it only gets easier.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
My thesis is about human rights and climate change: Can the current approach of the ECHR reckon with such a global issue?
Why do you think it is important that there are people with this degree? What are your plans once you have received your Master's degree?
I think it’s important that people do a degree in a subject they are passionate about. I didn’t want to be led by what would earn me money, but rather by what I knew I would find interesting. And where there is passion, there is (hopefully) a job somewhere at the end of it - one you will enjoy more than one you do for the financial prospects.
