What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you (in relation to your previous education)?
Actually I love everything about it. It is a great experience, which I am grateful for. However, I am facing a lot of challenges, especially with writing legal papers. Nevertheless, I feel like I am improving, which makes me happy. Everyday is a new challenge and it’s exciting!
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
The atmosphere in the class could not be better. The connection with teachers is very easy to establish, which makes it easier and more pleasant to learn.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
The most challenging for me is to keep up with all the work and extracurricular activities. However, if you plan on working part-time - it is definitely possible.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
I have participated in the Radboud Law Clinic, which was an incredible experience. I have learned a lot and made new connections, and also friends. So I would consider it an internship.
My thesis is very close to my heart! I am writing about accountability for environmental damage caused during armed conflicts. The most interesting part is the case study of Ukraine- Russia armed conflict, which I am including. I am happy that I can write a thesis related to my nationality, as my research allows me to contribute to my country as well. It is difficult to write, however, super exciting and interesting!
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 that education is the best investment anyone can make. Personally, I chose to pursue this Master’s degree to deepen my knowledge in subjects that truly interest me. After my graduation, I plan to keep on working to contribute to my country - or perhaps do a PhD. Life is an adventure and I will trust the process.
