I chose the Department of European & International Studies at King’s because it is not only a world class research institute, but because it is also at the centre of the debate on the future of Europe and international politics and policies. The opportunity to study and research alongside some of the world’s leading thinkers on these issues is professionally unparalleled and personally inspiring. Amy, PhD European Studies
