ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú

After my first lecture I nearly criedÌý
My lecturer was the first black person to teach me and that meant a lot. Ìý

I chose ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú for its location and the courseÌý
After completing my undergraduate degree in BA Geography, I knew I wanted to carry on studying. I moved back to my parents’ home in London so I could save money, have the emotional support of my parents, and be close to my friends.ÌýÌý

The course has changed my entire lifeÌý
The degree, MA Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity, connected my background, my upbringing, and the way I experience life in this country. It has shaped my thinking, my hobbies, and the career I’ll pursue.Ìý

I work with marginalised students and my course links directly to thatÌý
Working in fundraising in West London Zone, a charity that provides children and young people with emotional, academic and social support at school, is really rewarding. I’m definitely using skills I gained from my degree and when I write to donors, I draw upon the knowledge I gained and the research I did for my dissertation on diversity.Ìý

I made lots of friends on the courseÌý
I found it so inspiring to have peers on the course who’ve been in the industry; they helped me so much. There was also a group of young people, so it was the perfect balance. We had group chats throughout the course, and met regularly to have a chat or share course notes and useful readings. It felt like such a community. We plan to meet for dinner soon which I’m looking forward to.Ìý

I would 100% recommend ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú to anyoneÌý
My cousin is now studying at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú because of how much I liked it! The flexibility and support that ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú offers is so great. You’re really encouraged to study in the way that best suits you, and all the academics are really understanding and flexible.Ìý

In the future, I’d love to do a PhDÌý
I’m now taking the time to narrow my focus and interests. I just love to study and would be keen to pursue a PhD in a similar field to my Master’s degree.Ìý
