Dear Student,
We are excited to invite you to the opening of our new Brussels centre on Thursday 15th October. The event will consist of an opening talk with drinks and canapés being served later on in the evening. Please find attached your official invite which has location information and contact details in case of any queries.
The Brussels School of International Studies is a multidisciplinary postgraduate school of the University of Kent bringing together the disciplines of politics, international relations, law and economics to provide in-depth analysis of international problems such as conflict, security, development, migration and the political economy and legal basis of a changing world order.
Around 200 students are pursuing Masters and Doctoral degrees in Brussels. Degrees are full degrees of the University of Kent, and are also accredited by the higher education accrediting body for the Flemish Community in Belgium (NVAO) and recognised by the Flemish Government.
The students are drawn from over fifty countries worldwide. The strong international composition of our student body contributes significantly both to the academic as well as to the social experience at BSIS. The value-added of a location in Brussels is the opportunity to expose students of international issues to the working of major international organisations such as the EU and NATO and the many international and non-governmental organisations based in Brussels. Students have the added opportunity of undertaking an internship with one of these organisations.
Having started in fairly modest premises, BSIS moved in 2006 into bespoke premises with its own offices, and lecture and seminar rooms. In April 2015 it moved again, this time into much larger premises with a 24/7 accessible student study centre and a 150 seater auditorium.
We are aware that the attached invite states an RSVP date of 25th September, however we would now ask you to confirm your attendance by the 8th October 2015.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards
Professor Roger Vickerman
Dean for Europe
