“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“ELGU is an incredible University. I know this from first hand as I have graduated in July 2021 with a PhD in Law. During my PhD studies I had the opportunity to be taught and supervised by distinguished professors and leading experts of the field and I was equipped with skills which were proven essential for the next steps of my career. Since October 2021, I am a Lecturer in International Economic Law and Human Rights at the Department of History, Politics and International Studies at Neapolis University Pafos. The international presence of the ELGU, the research foundations that it provides, and its lively academic community make it a perfect environment not only for research studies but for everyone who wants to extend their knowledge foundations and develop their career.”
“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.”
“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?”
“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.”
