Meet Stanislava

MSc degree in European Studies in 2015 and Media Lead at the Wordbank London marketing agency

Stanislavs

  • I chose SDU for a number of different reasons. I had earned my Bachelor's degree in European Studies in Slovakia and wanted to pursue a Master's degree. At the same time, I wanted to study abroad, because it presented a great challenge and a very steep learning curve. I had the opportunity to visit SDU before applying for European Studies, and I remember being blown away by Campus Sonderborg's location, architecture, and openness.
  • The lecturers were very competent, and I greatly appreciated their teaching methods. In addition, I really enjoyed the library, the student club, and Danish lifestyle as a whole. My years at SDU were fantastic, and I hope to return one day.
  • I live in London, working as a Media Lead in a marketing agency. My career began, when I was still attending university, where my thesis supervisor approached me one day. I helped her set up her academic articles, and that actually kick-started my current career. Working as a Media Lead, I do a bit of everything in marketing. We advise and help our clients with the best solutions for the specific markets, and together with a team of graphic designers and art workers, I also design marketing materials.

Meet Katarina

BSc degree in European Studies in 2017 and consultant in the European Affairs Committee of the Estonian Parliament

Katarina

  • I chose European Studies for two reasons. One is the interdisciplinary approach to the study programme, and the other is the multicultural campus and focus on collaboration across borders, e.g. with the University of Flensburg. In addition, I liked SDU's campus in Sonderborg, which is modern and sustainable.
  • I really enjoyed the multicultural environment and the diversity, both in terms of staff and students, which facilitated a mutual understanding of intercultural communication.
  • I am now working as a consultant on the European Affairs Committee in the Estonian Parliament. My job is mainly to assist Members of Parliament in navigating EU legislation and advising them on Estonia's position for European Council meetings. I can wholeheartedly say that without European Studies, I would not have reached, where I am today.

A Bachelor's degree is just the beginning of your education

Most students supplement their 3-year Bachelor’s degree with a 2-year Master’s degree programme. Upon earning your Bachelor's degree in European Studies, you will have a legal claim to enter the Master’s degree in International Security and Law at SDU.
