"I am very happy I studied in Politics and Administration, as it gave me a very good understanding of the EU system. I now feel I could work in almost any firm in Brussels. It gave me the knowledge to work in new sectors, such as EU lobbying, EU inter-institutional negotiations, and others, and even the stage at the Commission would have been much harder without what I learned in Politics and Administration."
