Why Politics at TGS for students choosing now?​

TGS taught me fantastic skills – how to be curious and passionate about learning newthings, how to be open-minded and navigate complexity, how to write and presentmyself, and to pursue my interests and passions. These are skills that are great for anystudent, but especially for someone who wants to study Politics.
