ASE staff welcomed the new cohort of around thirty students starting their Master’s degrees. This year, students come from a variety of countries including Benin, Liberia, Cameroon and Burundi. Following a discussion about logistics and scheduling of the academic year – students were impatient to ask questions and seemed excited to begin their year at ASE.
