His thoughts resulted in an unique European project

after 4 month’s going to a second university for the masters thesis (research phase)
in this way European competencies were brought together in one programme combining teaching expertise and research in APA

also students from Canada, Korea, Japan, South Africa and Israel
After eleven years international experience in this European Master Degree
We are very well prepared for the upcoming international structures (bachelor-master-post-initial or advanced master) who were conceptualised by yourself
With all their expertise the students went back to their countries
