“Not to over dramatise, but I think Polis is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Due to the concept - taking classes, working on projects in different countries and comparing how things are organised - I learnt a lot. And it was good fun.”

Since its launch in 1997, forty-four students have graduated from Polis with an MA in European Urban Cultures, going on to a wealth of varied and exciting careers.

From a housing policy-maker in Holland to a producer of cultural festivals in South America, we asked our Polis alumni what they’re up to now, the highlights of the course and the challenges they faced.

The results make for some very interesting reading…

“Polis is one of the most interesting things, in terms of studies and gaining experience of different cultures, that has ever happened to me.”

“I never once regretted taking this course - it was an experience of a lifetime! I wish I could do it again.”
