Dr. Ana Beatriz Ribeiro
Master's Degree in Global Studies (Erasmus Mundus)
Master's
Wroclaw University
Plac Uniwersytecki 1, Wroclaw (Poland)
Dual Master's program through full EU scholarship: Roskilde University and Wroclaw University. Topic:
Global Studies - the history, effects and politics of globalization through the European perspective.
Since studies in Denmark are largely shaped by group projects, teamwork, compromise and time
management were major concepts being taught. In October 2010, I participated in a United Nations
Security Council simulation (DanMUN) in Copenhagen, which gave me a small glimpse of what
representing a country could be like. I have finished the second year of the program in Poland, having
done field work in Mozambique for my Master thesis and obtaining the highest grade.
