Jeanne Crommelynck, Student Ambassador European Public Affairs

After studying in both Brussels and Upsalla, Jeanne moved to Maastricht to study European Public Affairs.

Why Jeanne chose to study European Public Affairs in Maastricht:
“The thing I like the most about this programme would be the international aspect. The master’s in European Public Affairs is a multi-disciplinary, intensive, and selective one-year programme. It provides knowledge on European policymaking and mainly focuses on lobbying, governance, and trans-national issues from a theoretical and practical perspective. The things I like about Maastricht itself would be the small cafés, the nice areas to study in and the student-life.”
