ULB-GSAPS Double Degree Program: Message from the student (Akira Niinobe Jego)

1. Why did you choose ULB Master’s program?

Being French and Japanese, I wanted to take a closer look at the drivers and intricacies of EU-Japan relations. That’s why I’ve chosen the European Studies Master’s at the ULB’s European Studies Institute (IEE), a leading regional studies centre which allows for in-depth understanding of European issues and EU policy-making processes. 

2. What do you like about ULB?

Beyond the critical reflection on EU affairs and European integration promoted by the Institute’s multidisciplinary programme and networking events, I was amazed at the level of interaction within the ULB community and on-campus events. You can also see in the pictures what graduating from the ULB at the Grand-Place of Brussels would be like!

3. How did you get interested in the Waseda-ULB Double Degree Programme (DDP)?

The Double Degree Programme between Waseda-GSAPS and ULB-IEE allows us to learn from notable academics and experts on EU and Asian affairs, while living in two beautiful cities and enjoying local specialties!
