"This course helped me learn new tactics that weren’t taught to me during my undergraduate studies. I have learnt a lot of new skills from colleagues who are from different backgrounds (countries) and I will apply these when I get back home’ said, Antoine Kabandana, one of the beneficiaries of the scholarship.
The graduates, representing over 50 countries, started their MA study in September 2013. So far almost 40 Rwandans have studied at ISS. They were enrolled in one of the ISS programmes: MA, Diploma or PhD. ISS is part of Erasmus University Rotterdam.
