Bilgi University European Studies MA program is a multi disciplinary program that offers everything you need for a regional academic study. Bilgi European Studies MA helped me to comprehend deeply the political, economic, historical and legal aspects of European integration. I realized the true worth of Bilgi European Studies MA in my graduate program abroad.

Emin Çobangüç

MSc European Political Economy-LSE

My years at the European Studies Masters Programme of Istanbul Bilgi University was a life changing experience. When I started studying there, I had no idea I would end up where I am today. The European Studies Masters Programme has provided me the foundation of knowledge, skills and network which enabled me to explore my personal potential. Even before having obtained my MA degree, I was recruited by a Brussels based Public Affairs Company. After having obtained my MA degree, I climbed very quickly in the career ladder and today, I am living in "the capital of the EU" and working as an executive manager at a Brussels based leading agency specialized in EU communications.
