MPHIL DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

Formerly a graduate of History and Politics at SOAS, I now work as a Policy Advisor for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Through studying this Masters, with the support of the Aziz Foundation, I hope to contribute positively to the British Muslim community by advocating for our marginalised groups through public policy reform. The global context that is offered by this Development Studies course is crucial in developing a deeper understanding of our local context. The Aziz Foundation scholarship provides an excellent opportunity to give me the credibility, knowledge and skills to become an effective community leader.
