designed to create a well-rounded international policy officer

Mr. Joël de Bruin, MEIG Graduate 2025-2026, The Netherlands

For me, it’s not the depth of each module, but rather the width of the programme in its entirety, which, due to the many angles the different modules provide, brought me the value I was looking for.

Exceptional to the programme are the many visits to the different international organisations, it really gives a view of what is going on and brings a perspective to bring home.

The MEIG is well designed. It is designed to create a well-rounded international policy officer for a world that needs to be ready for the challenges of tomorrow. In this, it does a good job, possibly more so than I expected. I do return to my home country with a certain confidence when it comes to the international scene that I think was difficult to obtain otherwise without many years of international work experience.
