In year three, you’ll dive deeper into subjects such as international law, the role of financial markets in the economy, national politics, and international security as well as the interrelation between economics and law. You can also carry out a solidarity internship in South America through the SUD program: a highly recommended life-enriching experience in both personal and profesional terms.
Fourth year
Geographic specialisation and first contact with the professional world
Year four is the time to launch yourself into the world and have life experiences and learning experiences you’ll remember forever.
