Student Governance of Migration and Diversity (Public Administration)
Throughout this one-year programme, my ability to work under pressure was really honed. Over the course of the year, I had the chance to draft a policy brief, a position paper, a legal essay, and multiple group papers. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme gives one the possibility to be taught in thought-provoking classes like the legal perspectives of migration and diversity, which solidified my legal knowledge on myriad migration and diversity-related issues.
A class on media and its effects on the portrayal of migration fortified my desire to work in a field where I can help defy stereotypes and showcase the multifaceted and enriching nature of migration. Moreover, my creativity was greatly stimulated in a group project where we utilised our shared experiences of migration. This collaboration blossomed into a startling examination of Rotterdam’s rich migration history.
Lastly, the people from all different backgrounds, who have become good friends, and the community we created within the master was the most enjoyable aspect of this programme. After completing my studies, I aim to contribute to decision-making on diversity and migration-related issues, ideally through roles in international organisations or think tanks. This programme has honed my skills and deepened my passion for making a meaningful impact in this field.
