| Meet our Students - Diversity as value added |
|
As in previous years, the heterogeneous character of the student group is manifested not only by the nations represented but also in terms of the first degree of students and their previous practical experience related to development cooperation. This is seen as an important value added not only by the IEE. Students are convinced that they benefit from exchange of experiences alongside their studies.
