MA INTERNATIONAL LAW, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

The 21st Century Refugee Crisis saw many individuals fleeing their country due to the deteriorating security situation, in search of safety and a better quality of life.

After graduating with a BA in politics from the University of York, I began interviewing asylum seekers on the Mediterranean Island of Malta on behalf of the government as well as local NGOs. I learned that asylum seekers are not obliged to share their experiences in great detail but are encouraged to look forward to a better life in a host country.

I will be studying MA International Law to critically engage with theories and contemporary matters that directly affect the treatment of asylum seekers in the UK.
