Koichi Osamura

Hi, my name is Koichi! I’m from Brazil and graduated from the 1-year MA program in Political Science at CEU in 2022. Today, I’m a PhD student at the University of Vienna, where I also work as a researcher studying coalitions and teach comparative politics.

Before CEU, I earned a BA in International Relations from UniCEUB in Brazil and an MA in Law from Soka University in Japan. After working for six years, I wanted to return to academia. The 1-year MA program at CEU offered the perfect opportunity to refresh my skills and re-enter the world of academic research.
