Be bold, take the step, and become part of the MEIG

Ms. Nikol Petkova, MEIG Graduate 2024-2025, Bulgaria

Relocating to Geneva marked a transformative milestone in my life, profoundly enhancing my personal and professional development in both academic and career-oriented dimensions. Prior to enrolling in the Advanced Master of European and International Governance (MEIG Programme), my knowledge of European governance was relatively established; however, my understanding of the broader international governance landscape and the intricacies of multilateralism remained limited. The MEIG Programme brings together professionals from diverse fields, fostering a dynamic network and offering unparalleled opportunities for in-depth engagement with experts, thereby making it a truly unique educational experience.

Furthermore, the programme incorporated a specialized course on negotiations, which underscored the essential elements of effective negotiation strategies. The negotiation workshop was especially impactful, equipping me with indispensable skills through immersive exercises that simulated real-world diplomatic negotiations.

The MEIG Programme has been instrumental in broadening my expertise and significantly enhancing my career prospects in an increasingly competitive global job market. For those seeking professional and academic growth, as well as a comprehensive understanding of governance across multiple sectors, I highly encourage embracing this opportunity. Be bold, take the step, and become part of the MEIG community in Geneva.
