I would like to thank every one involved with the school & wish the very best for many more batches to come!! JSIA has provided me with an invaluable experience that has enabled me to do my job even better. The MA course offers one different perspectives on international relations as one interacts with many different people from all across the world. Most importantly, the lecturers were knowledgeable in their areas of study and very supportive. One thing I will for ever cherish from JSIA is the human relations that I established both for my personal and professional work.
