Claudio Spadotto, from Treviso, Venice, Italy, pictured at the Model UN Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, is currently a BA International Relations & Diplomacy student at Schiller International University, London. Since joining Schiller in August 2004, Claudio has served as Treasurer of the Student Council and President of the Foreign Affairs Association. As many Universities in Italy have very large class sizes, Claudio particularly wanted to go to a University, where there were by comparison small class sizes, where he would receive more individual attention and would not just be a number. Claudio also said he wanted the international exposure of studying abroad in somewhere like London.

Current favourite courses include Economics of Developing Countries, General Economics and Advanced International Relations. Since commencing at Schiller London, he has already appeared twice on the Dean’s List for High Academic Achievement.

As a member and President of the Foreign Affairs Association, he has visited the European Commission in Brussels and has participated in a Model UN at Edinburgh, Scotland.

Claudio, who likes travelling and mixing with the many different nationalities at Schiller International University, London, has also participated in other cultural activities: visits to Athens and also Rome, where he acted as a guide to other students on the trip.

Claudio says that he likes the cultural exchange at Schiller, as it helps the development of his diplomatic skills. His ambition is one day to work for the United Nations.
