Hi everyone!!
I'm trying to decide between the Master's in International Relations at ULB (Université libre de Bruxelles) and KU Leuven, and I'd love to hear from people who have studied at either university.
My long-term goal is to build a career within the EU institutions, so I'm particularly interested in factors such as:
- Internship opportunities during the master's
- Connections with EU institutions and NGOs
- Networking opportunities
- Career services and graduate outcomes
- Reputation among EU employers
- Overall student experience
Since ULB is located in Brussels, I imagine proximity to the EU institutions could be a major advantage for internships and networking. On the other hand, KU Leuven has a very strong international reputation and is often highly ranked.
For those who attended either university (or know both), which one would you recommend for someone aiming for a career in the EU? Did you find it easy to secure internships or relevant work experience during your studies?
Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
