The compelling course content of the MSc Empires, Colonialism and Globalisation was what attracted me to the programme. Being able to study a range of thought-provoking aspects of a number of different empires in a comparative perspective, as well as being able to explore their continuing legacies appealed to me. The seminar sessions provided a fantastic opportunity to discuss different themes and build on the analytical and research skills developed throughout my undergraduate studies. Teachers and peers are always more than willing to provide support and classroom time proved to be both enjoyable and challenging.
Studying in London at such a highly regarded institution has lived up to its high expectations. Students are never short on options of departmental debates or talks to attend. Furthermore, it also provides great opportunities to become involved with a number of different aspects of academic, sporting and social life. Once completing my masters I will be going into the education sector and have spent my the past academic year working with The LSE Widening Participation department, tutoring and mentoring school students, which has provided me with invaluable experience for the field that I am going into.
