  Director's Answers - FAQ - European Graduate School EGS
The European Graduate School is a new concept in university-level education.
The purpose of the EGS is to provide a superior education for students who are otherwise consumed with the demands of a career — allowing the simultaneous expansion of useful professional knowledge and satisfaction of intellectual pursuits.
The Ph.D. in Communication (with or without a chosen concentration) is your 'union card' for the university, a terminal degree that facilitates a career change whenever needed and opens the path to university-level teaching even late in life.
