"To me, the International Peace and Security programme is what 'higher education' should mean. It was more than just having an interesting subject matter. The superb teaching combined with such interesting and relevant material provoked such enthusiasm in all of us in the class that the debates and discussions continued long after the classes, the term, the programme had finished."
