Kent Law School students Tedi Jorgji and Hannah Loosley have been awarded a scholarship to attend a two-week European Summer School in Brussels.
Tedi, a final year student on the Law and Accounting & Finance programme, and Hannah, a second year student studying Law with Spanish, were two of 20 students selected from amongst hundreds of applicants for the scholarship.
The Summer School in Brussels is one of several that were established to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the University of Kent. Hosted by the Brussels School of International Studies from 6 to 17 July, the Summer School will be centred on the theme of ‘Europe and the World’.
Tedi and Hannah will enjoy a programme that includes guest lectures, seminars and debates delivered by academics, policy-makers, diplomats and European civil servants.
They will discover how the European Union (EU) functions with a particular focus on how it acts as a global organisation and the challenges it faces in today’s world. Sessions are likely to cover topics on migration, the EU’s relationship with emerging powers such as China, and the EU’s response to the global economic crisis.
Summer School students are also able to take advantage of a workshop with a qualified careers coach to develop skills in networking, mastering interviews and writing strong CVs.
