I first learned about Central European University (CEU) in 2021 whilst I was attending the Constitution-Building program at the Africa Summer School in Budapest, Hungary. That enlightening two-week course sparked my desire for more knowledge on the subject, so I subsequently decided to apply for CEU’s LL.M. in Comparative Constitutional Law, and I was thrilled to be admitted onto the course for the 2023/2024 academic year in Vienna, Austria.
