Benjamin BRAUN
I am a PhD student at the University of Warwick. My field of research is International Political Economy, and my PhD project is on the governance of expectations in the context of monetary policy. The Erasmus Mundus GEM School is an extraordinarily cosmopolitan community. I suddenly have colleagues and friends not just from across Europe, but from all over the world. Even though we are based at different universities, the GEM School provides ample opportunities to meet and to debate. It is great to be part of this unique network.

Gustavo GAYGER MÜLLER
The GEM PhD Erasmus Mundus is my third academic experience abroad. I chose GEM not only because of the academic and financial support and the qualified universities, but also because of the possibility to interact and exchange ideas on a full international level. Ever since my application was selected, I’ve been given all the necessary support to start my research. It’s been a pleasure to be part of it, but also a great responsibility.

Having studied at three European universities for my Erasmus Mundus Master's, I've been very keen on doing an Erasmus Mundus PhD. The GEM progamme was a great opportunity for me to return to the field of international relations (my Bachelor's is in International Information) after Master's in Media Studies. It's been a very enriching experience so far!

Hikaru YOSHIZAWA (吉沢 晃)
Doing research as a doctoral fellow of the EM GEM community is a challenging and stimulating task. While this 3-year PhD programme is highly intensive and demanding, the GEM member institutions with globally recognized researching / teaching staff provide us fellows with excellent supports. This programme is also multi-disciplinary and people naturally have really 'diverse' interests, but I believe that we share a basic perspective, communicate and stimulate each other, and therefore still 'united' - in EU speaking.

Zhun ZHONG
For me, the most essential reason to study abroad is to work with specific faculty in a specific kind of program. I had been searching for a PhD program involves study on Europe and Asia (especially China), in which my research interest and experience in East Asia and Europe could be coming into play together. Fortunately, I found GEM which offers an perfect opportunity.
