Understanding how crucial water processes work is the reason why I decided to study my programme.

My Bachelor’s programme was a double major in Biomedical Science and Economics. However, I also did another Master’s degree in Environmental Security before my current programme. I believe my education and experience made it easy to get onto my Master’s programme.

Having an environmental science background, I knew that water is central to all ecosystem and sustainability issues. So I decided to focus on water, and the country with the most expertise in this field is the Netherlands.

While studying for an exam alongside my close friends, it is a great feeling when you finally understand an important concept and then explain it to others. Understanding how crucial water processes work is the reason why I decided to study my programme. I also really enjoy attending lectures and workshops given by experts where I learn about the latest research, even if it’s outside my field.

My advice to students who still need to choose their Master’s programme is to think beyond the field of your Bachelor’ programme. A lot of companies like students with diverse backgrounds. Just always try to keep making connections between old and new knowledge when learning new disciplines.
