Have you heard of our Two Capitals programme?
The University of Kent’s Two Capitals Programme gives students a unique opportunity to learn about international affairs in a global context. Students spend one year at the Brussels School of International Studies before moving to another global capital to broaden their understanding of international studies.
Two Capitals, Two Masters is a new and innovative double Master’s program, designed to offer students the opportunity to study, train, and network in Brussels before moving to, for example, Washington D.C. or Beijing.

The Two Capitals Programme in Washington DC is based on exchange agreements with Virginia Tech and George Mason University.
