Student Testimonials

Jennifer Dunsmore, Scotland, MSc European Politics (2008 graduate, currently assistant to David Martin, MEP)
This is a dynamic and rewarding course. It has a broad, pan-European and international appeal, while allowing us to pursue our specialist areas of interest. The diversity of the students and staff has provided a fantastic international flavour to the study of European politics in Scotland, and the course components have provided useful transferable skills for the workplace

Gavin Barber (2010 graduate, currently PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh)
The course combines the disciplines of European Union studies and comparative European politics and places these studies firmly in the context of contemporary debates in Europe.  I found this to be a course which requires real dedication and delivers significant rewards in terms of theoretical insights and methodological perspectives.  There is freedom within this course to pursue and develop your own interests and ideas and this is complimented and supported by the high quality of teaching and direction.  Glasgow deserves its reputation as one of the leading centres in the study of European politics and this course brings together all of this expertise and endeavour.
