I am complete BS in political science know I want to apply for master
Global and Development studies such a subject which was really matched with my bachelor's program (Anthropology) and I am experienced with development sectors, so this program helping me to understanding development fields in a different dimension. But only thing I need to improve it is the danish language, without language expertise I can't access to a meaningful knowledge gathering. Overall, I am enjoying my study and campus environment.
