MA TELEVISION JOURNALISM, CITY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I enjoy studying politics and history and more specifically the politics and history of the Middle East. A large component of my undergraduate studies focused on the Middle East where we learnt and discussed the many political and social issues that has plagued the region.

Moreover, the dissertation I wrote in my final year was on the political history of post-colonial Egypt. I have travelled extensively in the region and took part in a 1 year Erasmus study abroad programme in Turkey where I studied in Istanbul. My time at university as well as studying abroad was a transformative experience and cemented my desire to further learn about this region of the world.

I have chosen to study Politics of the Middle East at SOAS due to its specialisation in this subject. I intend to use the knowledge and skills gained at institution to broaden peoples’ understanding of the region in the UK.
