"I was convinced that the international study environment would contribute not only to my professional but also to my personal development." 

"There was something really special about that time, no doubt. Your biggest worry was getting to class on time. You had an in-built community of friends from all across the world; that’s hard to find in the ‘real world’."

"There might be many people looking for a job just like you but there are plenty opportunities too. Make the most out of all opportunities you might be given, take yourself out of your comfort zone into different cities and countries".

"The knowledge I acquired in the Master has contributed a great deal to my work as a journalist. I have a much deeper understanding of how different international organisations work and why." Read all interview.

"With a background in economics, I decided to take IBEI programme to understand better other aspects of the international scene. The courses in Politics, International Law and International Relations Theory gave to me powerful tools to understand better the complexity affecting politics, institutions and the international economy".

"Apart from getting to know a wonderful group of people from all over the world, I also gained practical experience in comparative analysis, research methods, multicultural team work and efficient time management. I was very pleased to be chosen to speak on behalf of my fellow students at our graduation ceremony, which took place in the middle of a war also known as the FIFA World Cup".

"The Masters programme at IBEI provided me with the necessary academic and theoretical background and knowledge, as well as with some of the methodologies used in my current position. I have also very fond memories of IBEI’s familiar atmosphere, the variety of courses thought by some of the most distinguished professors in their fields, the bilingual setting, the diverse background of fellow students, the many cheerful moments with friends over tapas, beer and wine in one of the plazas in the city, and of course my beloved, village-like neighbourhood, Gràcia. All this makes it for me a lasting experience that I can only recommend to anyone seeking for a future path in an international professional sphere".

"I remember often the type of exercises we use to be taught at our courses and seminars in IBEI. Mainly, on those based on the casebook method, where we as students could read specific cases, topics or projects since it stimulated us to develop analytical skills and to induce/deduce the main concept for the subject matter".
