Meet Our Students

Yuji Natsume, a one-year MA student, chose the Political Science program at CEU because of its interdisciplinary approach to political science and strong Post-soviet regional focus. So far, he enjoyed most the course "Media systems and democracy".

As the PS program is quite demanding, Yuji struggles a bit with finding time to pursue his hobbies. He'd like to learn how to do programming and R, and to learn more languages. His advice for his fellow students is to stay focused.

Alessandra Oshiro, a one-year MA student from Peru, chose the Political Science program at CEU because of substantial financial aid and its strong focus on methods. So far, she enjoyed most the course Introduction to Theoretical and Applied Statistics by professor Mariyana Angelova.

As the PS program is quite demanding, Alessandra tries to improve her time management skills. She says that keeping her work-life balance and not feeling overwhelmed is her biggest struggle right now. But living in the beautiful city of Vienna definitely helps her stay positive.
