Kristine Briones
"I was attracted by the course’s holistic approach to teaching impact evaluation. The programme was able to tackle the realities one experiences when doing field work without sacrificing the rigor needed when doing research. The course equipped me with up-to-date practical and statistical knowledge of evaluation methods and processes which has since been an asset when applying for development jobs."
Kanako Yoshikawa
"I was an intern with Oxfam after completing the MSc Impact Evaluation. As part of my internship I worked on an impact evaluation on women’s empowerment in Uganda where I spent 2 months collecting and analysing primary data. It was a valuable experience and the knowledge and skills I gained during my studies helped me tremendously to work with the evaluation professionals at Oxfam."
