Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
Through the MA programme undertaken I had a tangible opportunity in clearly developing my language and communication experience. Furthermore, as a result, I was made aware of and managed to use the corresponding academic language (political sciences, international relations) in a satisfactory manner.

Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
One always has the choice to spend or not to spend and how much to spend. Buying from shops of distributers is less costly and weekly courch or bus tickets reduce travel costs and early morning calls are less expensive. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
