Hi V, Thanks for your question! I really enjoyed doing my MSc at City U. I did it part-time, on a distance program since I was already working in the U.S., but I still felt like the professors allocated plenty of time and were available for questions, discussions, etc. Also, the professors that I had (Tim Lang, David Barling, Martin Caraher, and Helen Crawley) were fantastic – knowledgeable and committed. Of course, face-to-face classes are always better.
I’m working in international development but although the MSc focuses mainly on food policies in high-income countries, it gives an historic perspective and discusses global issues, so the skills that I gained have been highly applicable in my work. Also, due to globalization and trade, policies in high-income countries matter, and often set the standard, for middle and low-income countries, so I find everything we learned really useful.

Saw that you completed studies at City University, how did you find the experience is it applicable to your policy work in North America?
