MSC INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

As a student of Politics and International Relations, I have been deeply intrigued by global affairs and topics that touch on international dilemmas.

Coming from an ethnic minority background in a predominantly white majority university has brought on its challenges; nonetheless, I have been proud to represent the Muslim community who are often misrepresented and stereotyped by the media. I see it as my duty to be the voice for the voiceless and stand up to injustice especially in respect to British Muslim communities.

My long-term goal is not just to be a bystander but to be an active player in tackling Islamophobia and showing Muslims in a positive light. I am excited to continue my studies in MSc International Development.
