Prajna
Hello! I am Prajna from Kerala, a southern state in India. Having grown up in Dubai, I thought moving to India for my undergraduate studies was a huge step; here I am now in GLOCAL, moving across three European countries in 2 years!
Given that my high school diploma was in commerce and business, and my undergraduate degree was a triple major specializing in literature, history and philosophy, I feel like this program was the perfect fit for everything I am interested in. Read more!

Merle
Hey! My name is Merle and I come from a small village in northern Germany. However, my “wanderlust” has repeatedly led me abroad, so I associate different places with different aspects of “home.” I love exploring other parts of the world, their people, traditions, and food. Therefore I am so grateful that I get to know the incredible hospitality of the Glaswegians, the delicious seafood of Barcelona, and the infamous student-life of Göttingen. Read more!

After encountering the GLOCAL programme I was immediately excited because of the interesting courses and opportunities the different universities have to offer… read more!
Tamuna
Hi, I am Tamuna and I am from Georgia! For my bachelor’s, I chose an interdisciplinary social sciences program at Free University of Tbilisi. This program was the most challenging and, at the same time, the most extraordinary thing I have ever done. During those four years, alongside with having anxiety attacks and overestimating the number of electives I could handle per semester, I also managed to translate a book about urban economics, write a BA thesis about Instagram and art museums…read more!
