Why MAGES?
“It has been my dream to enroll in a political science PhD program to conduct research on EU migration competencies, and the professors and academic supervisors in MAGES have been instrumental in these efforts.”
“I chose MAGES because I knew it would give me a deep background in transatlantic relations while also giving me the freedom to pursue specialized interests. Additionally, there is no better place to study international relations than DC.”
“MAGES has allowed me to gain new skills through opportunities such as working on the Center’s podcast, The Europe Desk, as a producer.”
