JULIAN ADAM GERMANY

“For me, studying at CEU has brought together theoretical knowledge and real-life situations and data. The latter is especially important since it is often neglected in academic education. The combination of theory and practical application has helped me gain a completely new and more focused view on economic issues. What I really appreciate about the Department of Economics is how we deal with one another. We have very open and deep discussions in class. I have even had disagreements with professors but I don’t feel that it’s a bad thing, rather an opportunity for genuine discussion with a teaching partner.”
