my Phd in Political science so that I can be a professor of this subject. As VUB is one of the
most prestigious university in the world and thus it can be stated that it will help me to shine
in my life. The knowledge that I will acquire from this course will also help me in my future
life as well. Moreover, presence of students from different countries of this world will also
help me to gain knowledge of different countries of this world and it will help me to explore
the political scenarios of different countries. During my BA program in International Studies

my experience of working with the NGOs will also help me to work with the needy people of
