Does anyone know how the reginal studies programs at SFS (MAAS, MASIA, MAGES, etc) are viewed in comparison to the thematic programs (MSFS, SSP)? Is there a notable difference in the reputation of these programs or the possibilities of job prospects post-graduation, or are all of the degrees offered at SFS seen as being highly sought after in the realm of international relations? It seems that most applicants aim for MSFS, but is this due to a lack of language skills for the regional programs, or a difference in reputation?
I've noticed there there seems to be a considerable amount of overlap as you can seek a Thematic degree at MSFS but choose a regional specialization, or you can choose a Regional Studies program and choose a concentration in something more thematic.
Any advice comparing the two different pathways at SFS?
