9. Course Structure & Syllabus

“ Attending Royal Global University is one of the most transformative periods of my life. Choosing Master’s in political science as my field of study was driven by my passion for learning more about different theories and international relations. I had the opportunity to work on projects that deepened my understanding. The professors were knowledgeable and supportive, often going the extra mile to help students succeed.
Outside the classroom, I also participated in Yuvamanthan which helped me in gaining more knowledge and experience outside the curriculum. Our university is not just about academic growth; but it also encourages personal development. I learned a lot about myself, from my strengths and weaknesses to my passions and career aspirations. This experience helped me become more independent, confident, and adaptable. It also prepared me for the challenges and opportunities ahead, and I am grateful for every moment. It taught me that education extends beyond the classroom, and the experiences and relationships I built in here will always hold a special place in my heart. ”
