My GSD Experience

I looked for different schools on the web and found GSD’s website very attractive with excellent pictures of the school and a very impressive list of DIR laureates. This gave me an overview of the quality of students and faculty. 

International relations, as studied under the supervision of GSD professors, have become something more than just dry theory out of books. The people teaching here are the ones who have been making the history they teach us, be that the negotiations of first START treaty under Professor Nazarkine to the International Jurisprudence under Professor Alfred de Zayas. The different student origins and professor backgrounds make diplomacy a lifestyle, because you need to learn to be sensitive to cultural differences and opinions on the appliance of theory, negotiating the best possible solutions on a daily basis.
