MBA-IB student Mr. Vladislav KLISHEVICH joined the Summer Program at KU Leuven in September 2019.
Here are his comments:
“The week-long summer program provided a rare opportunity to look at the European legal and political systems from the inside. Along with lectures by top scholars, the course included a seminar at the European Commission and discussions with judges from the European Court of Justice which was very educating and inspiring. Also, the university made sure we could savor the town's rich history and cuisine after classes. The atmosphere was as international as it could be with participants coming from Brazil, Chile, China, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand and of course the EU.”
