What I found most interesting so far:
In Academic Skills (1st semester) we receive a first look at how interdisciplinarity can be used and its importance by taking one topic and having professors from different faculties come and discuss this topic from the perspective of their discipline. Some examples were from the perspective of natural sciences, an artist's view, even a politician's understanding and standpoint on the topic. This way we could see how different issues can be analised from several points of view.
Through the class Social Practice (4th semester), we got the chance to apply the knowledge received through the several semesters by going on a class excursion to Brussels to analyze EU migration policies.
Meeting the author to the book "We the Drowned", Carsten Jensen, in Transnational Perspectives (4th semester) was also very interesting.
