  6. Student satisfaction • Ilona Mostipan (Ukraine)I was looking for a programme in economics and, attracted by the participation of a highly ranked British university and mandatory mobility within Europe, I decided that the IMESS economics track would be a good choice for a specialized Master’s programme. By the end of the first semester at UCL, the programme had already exceeded my expectations • Zachary Rothstein (United States):After finishing my undergraduate degree, I was looking for a Masters programme that combined academic rigor, international immersion, and a varied programme of study. IMESS fit the bill perfectly. • http://www.imess.eu/students/testimonials/
