Student reviews of the course
- Gaia Venegoni | Alumna
"I will remember my experience as a student of Economic Diplomacy at the Brussels Diplomatic Academy as one of the most formative of my life. I was looking for a post-graduate program that would bring an added value to my CV, and I wanted it to be located right at the heart of Europe and tailored to its students. Being an international student, I needed to make many adjustments to come to Brussels, and therefore I have been very selective in the choice.

If you are thinking about making a valuable choice for a solid future in Diplomacy and International Trade: look you no further than the BDA!"
