Hello! This will be my first time applying to the MA program of International Affairs at NPSIA (fall 2021). I have a few concerns regarding the admission process, I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. I am a spanish student who recently graduated with two BA, specifically Sociology (grade average of 8,7/10) and International Relations (8,4/10). Initially I wanted to study a masters degree abroad, as soon as I finished my bachelors, but because of COVID I decided to postpone it and pursue a MA in Security and Defense in my hometown, that way I also had more time to explore all the options. Finally I think NPSIA and Munk are great programs and I would really want to enroll either of them, but I am worried they won´t consider my application because my grades I don´t hace work experience in the field. Here in Spain options are quite limited and I also worked at retail during my college studies so that today I could actually afford studying abroad. During high school I spent a year in the US, and I also participated in a summer campus in France (Science Po Lille, EU-International Affairs program). What are your thoughts considering mi background? Do you think I stand a chance? Also, considering the co-op, is there a preference for national students compared to international ones? Thank you!
