“My experience with Europa-Kolleg-Hamburg has been excellent. In addition to an outstanding and vigorous study program offered by dedicated and well-known professors and lecturers, I very much enjoyed being exposed to their remarkable friendliness and openness. Both the academic and the administrative staff I would convincingly define as being highly professional and having a unique approach to the international master students, aiming primarily at their academic excellence, while also supporting their adaptation to a new environment. I further enjoyed studying with colleagues from different countries of the world, representing various backgrounds and adding much color to the learning process.
On a more personal account, the idyllic location of the school building and its highly convenient combination with the students house, allowed for much extra-curricular student life, building friendly relationships that promise to last longer than the master program itself. The cultural exchange process was smooth due to the students’ positive spirit and tolerance.
Beyond valuable working opportunities offered to me upon graduating from this prestigious program, such an experience enriches my grand memories from Europa-Kolleg-Hamburg.”

“I always look back to the times spent in hamburg as to one of the most tremendous stays at a foreign educational institution. Not only it opended up my eyes on the interesting subject which is the European integration overall but it helped me to understand the sensible nature of the European law, the most fascinating theme I had been dealing with. Besides, what would be the Europa-Kolleg without its highly qualified, professional and approachable staff! What is more important, the multienvironment of colleagues from so many European (and not only European!) countries just cannot keep me down and bored! Last but not least, the Alumni-meetings re-unite and maintain your friendships and your knowledge on the top EU issues.”
