I enrolled in the Economic Diplomacy programme at the Brussels Diplomatic Academy because I felt I lacked a comprehensive understanding of trade policy, and BDA offered exactly the multidisciplinary approach I was looking for, combining international relations, international law, and international trade.
The evening schedule was particularly valuable, as it allowed me to pursue internships and gain practical experience during the day, while deepening my academic understanding at night. What I learned in class I was often able to apply the very next day in a real-world setting, which made the learning experience all the more immediate and relevant.
The small class sizes fostered a dynamic and engaging learning environment, where discussion was not only encouraged but enriched by the diverse professional backgrounds of my peers. I learned just as much from my colleagues as I did from the lecturers, and this atmosphere truly set the BDA experience apart.
I highly recommend the Brussels Diplomatic Academy to anyone looking to deepen their expertise in economic diplomacy while simultaneously advancing their career.
