Euroculture allowed me to get my foot in the door of a European career.
It gave me a fresh new perspective on EU affairs, gender equality, art, policy and law.
No other programme can give you that.

For me, Euroculture was an incredible multicultural experience that provided me with so many stimuli and challenges and that was key to step out of my comfort zone and broaden my horizons.
Being passionate about EU affairs and willing to work in an international environment, I found that graduating from Euroculture helped me to find jobs matching my interests.
Agnese Olmati (2017-2019)
Euroculture has managed to introduce me to a variety of courses that I would not have had the chance to take in any other program.
I am especially grateful to the IP and thesis process as these two papers changed my life and I seem to discuss these experiences on a daily basis, whether on a professional level or on my personal journey.
