The Department of International Studies has enabled me to think beyond what is merely visible. The program offers courses that enrich critical thinking skills and advances cross-comparative analysis through a variety of disciplines whether it be political, sociological, economic or historical. The department's activities, such as Model UN, Moot Court and the International Studies Association, have fostered a variety of skill-sets for me, ranging from public speaking to leadership and attentiveness to detail. All in all, the international studies program at American University of Sharjah has broadened my horizons both in the theory and application aspects, equipping me with all the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue different interests and a successful career in the real world.
