“I chose the master’s in governance at ELGU for its strong focus on policymaking, international relations, and strategic governance. Given my background in social work, this program bridges theory and practice, equipping me with the skills to shape policies that have a meaningful impact on communities globally. For prospective students aiming to design policies that will have a meaningful impact globally, ELGU is your Choice.”
“If you are contemplating to participate in a summer school, this summer school is by far the best one for a first experience. Either way I can strongly recommend applying for this summer school – it will be a truly enriching experience and you will definitely not regret it.”
“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.”
“The European Law and Governance University played a pivotal role in advancing my career goals, particularly in the area of digital regulation and EU law. Winning a scholarship to fund my studies was a significant step in pursuing my ambitions to graduate in the ELGU appealing environment, and the knowledge I gained through the program has directly contributed to my work as a researcher.”
“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.”
“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.”
“What ELGU really excels at is providing students with the opportunity to pursue education that will allow them to acquire specific skills and professional growth. I'm thankful to the community of ELGU for the support and grateful for the great professors who encourage you all the way and challenge you to aim higher. Not to forget the moment you enter the premises of ELGU , you just fall in love with the grandeur and beauty of its old building rich with culture and history.”
“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.”
