Hi,
I'm applying to some different PhD:s in social science and I'm interested in EUI (the European University Institute in Florence). However, when I visited for the interview the PhD:s there didn't seem to enthusiastic about the program (department of political and social sciences). I also noticed their English skills were actually not too good (and the language test we took was VERY fundamental...). On the other hand, EUI is cliamed to be "best" in Europe in social science, in line with LSE and so on.
Does anyone know if this is actually "true", and if this is known outside of Europe? Does it apply to sociology as well as political science, or only to the latter? Do the EUI students actually get a successful, international academic career after graduation? Does anyone know? Ok, just one more question: What is the age distribution withing the SPS department of EUI?
