Maria Cohrs

Nationality: American
Degree: MA International Relations, 2000
Current: Employment European Regional Manager, iJet, London, England

Studying International Relations at Webster Graduate School London provided me with an in-depth background in world affairs and important global issues, also allowing me to focus in particular areas of interest. In addition, it opened up many career opportunities, as I obtained an internship in a non-profit organisation, British American Security Information Council, which led to valuable work experience.

My responsibilities covered research/analysis and drafting reports and papers. The IR program also provided a base for my current employment as European Regional Manager in Risk Management for iJet. My studies in political, economic and cultural affairs at Webster also prepared me for the research and analysis that is required in my position. Webster provided me not only with a strong academic experience, but the opportunity to socialise with people from many cultures and ethnicities. Attending Webster is similar to a mini-UN, as students come from so many corners of the world. It allowed me to gain a perspective not only of the countries, but of the social attributes connected with the countries. I gained valuable friendships which I continue to maintain, and have a strong connection of friends across the world.
