My aspiration is to work in an international policy setting such as the European Union and my postgraduate degree will serve as a strong foundation to pursue this path. The course deepened my understanding of intricate international policy dynamics and provided me with critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through engaging classroom discussions and real-world case studies.

The course has helped me gain exposure to various real-world applications of data science, from simple data handling to building complex machine learning models. Studying at Strathclyde has affirmed my desire to utilise big data to make a positive impact in society and drive meaningful change.

I have obtained interviews and offers for a Social Researcher position within Washington DC and Policy Analyst positions across the US. This is specifically because of the experience I gained from the MSc and I could not be more grateful.

The programme offered such a diverse workload which I really enjoyed. One week, you could be working to design a factsheet about a specific international organisation’s compliance and effectiveness. The next, you could be deep-diving how states have adapted theoretical frameworks into their foreign policy efforts.
