“What I valued most about my time at the ELGU was how the program blended academic and legal education with real-world applicability. The international environment and practical focus - through case studies, interactive learning, and direct engagement with EU professionals - created a dynamic learning experience that went beyond traditional classroom instruction.”
“I think it’s okay to say I was quite nervous when I first started at the ELGU. Nervous about the course and nervous about making friends. What really put me at ease though was when I first arrived at the campus in Sounion was the fact that all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and supporting. All in all, I enjoy that our School is of a small size because it allows students to really get to know their lecturers. The School as a whole demonstrates a willingness to support and help us out along the way. If we take into account the fact that we are creating new Societies for students to participate in, I believe that it is an excellent place to study and I recommend it to anyone.”
“Hi my name is Sarra Ajroud, I’m a 21 years old student from Tunisia. I am currently enrolled in the MA in Governance program within the ELGU. Before coming here I did my BA in public law but deep down I’ve always wanted to continue my studies in Political Sciences, that is why I chose the MA in Governance program. Studying within the ELGU is a great experience, the courses are very effective, the professors are very helpful and I have learned and gained so much knowledge from the very start. On the plus side, living in Athens is a far greater experience. I think it’s an amazing city for students as you get to unravel both the ancient Greece culture and the Modern European lifestyle.”
“This program offers a solid understanding of EU law, its institutional framework, and its impact on member states and elsewhere. The LLB in EU Law degree program is one of the best in that it offers an overview of the EU legal order, which is essential for developing the professional skills necessary for a career in international or EU law.”
“ELGU helped me achieve my career goals in an international environment by providing me with an internationally recognized degree that strengthened my academic and professional profile. I always aspired to pursue a PhD at Sant’Anna University and to work for an EU agency. Today, I am fulfilling both dreams—I am currently a PhD candidate in Human Rights, Global Politics, and Sustainability, and I work as a legal assistant at EFSA.”
“The quest for knowledge might be a lifelong journey that leads our steps to remarkable destinations that make our dreams come true. ELGU is definitely a place that broadens the horizons of its students and provides them with the necessary tools of achieving their goals and quenching their thirst to learn. Studying in ELGU is an unforgettable experience due to the combination of high quality education and a marvelous atmosphere that promotes learning. What else to wish for?”
“When I first arrived at ELGU, I was not aware of my full potential nor of the opportunities that would unfold before me. Studying with world-leading experts and benefiting from an intense high quality program, made my overall experience so far unique. With activities and offered internships provided from ELGU international network, I had the chance to develop my academic and professional skills. This University provides students seeking for an international career with the best assets possible”
“I am extremely grateful to the ELGU for having given me the opportunity to further specialize and develop my knowledge in the field of international affairs and, particularly, on India, which is perfectly in line with my academic specialization in South Asian studies. The post-graduate Master of Studies program I have pursued was completely tailor-made for me and this has been an invaluable experience.”
