Where were you/what were you doing before coming to Sheffield?

What has been the highlight of the course?
The field trip to Kenya and the forthcoming placement in Rome are both exciting and valuable experiences that can contribute to academic and practical skills improvement as well as professional portfolio enhancement.
What has it been like studying here?
The department has a quiet and friendly environment.
What would be the one bit of advice you would give to someone coming to study at Sheffield?
To be prepared for academic pressure and look forward to self-improvement.

There are so many opportunities to gain real work experiences through the field class and dissertation with placements. Not many masters courses offer this so it is definitely one of the strongest elements of the course. Eventually I would like to combine my background in economics with international development and work in policy.
