WHAT THE COLLEGE MEANT TO ME

My year at the College was certainly one of the best and most important ones in my life. It's not only the outstanding curriculum, but the entire 'Bruges experience' that make the College of Europe so unique and stand out among many. For anyone interested in a career in European politics, it remains unbeatable.
