 Hi, my name is Kshiti Gala. I'm currently pursuing the MSc in Development Economics program at SOAS and I really enjoy my course. I have, I had offers from a couple of other institutions in the UK and the US and the reason why I chose to come to SOAS is because I thought that it's extremely relevant to who I am, where I come from and the challenges that face my country and that has been truly reflected in the diverse range of courses that SOAS had to offer, I mean, everything from political economy of agriculture and food to environment economics, political economy of institutions, African economies, theory of financial institutions. Yeah, I mean, there's a whole list. But what I really like as well is the fact that we have a very strong foundation in microeconomics, in macroeconomics, growth and development, quantitative methods one and two. So it's really giving us, the course is giving us multiple perspectives to economics and how it has evolved. And I think the strong foundation enables you to have a career in government, in the development space, in the private sector and, of course, in research and doing further studies like a PhD. So I think it's a very good course and I'm very happy to be here. One reason why I think that SOAS is very, very inclusive and agreed institution is because the professors here are extremely approachable. They help you out at every stage of your degree and they're always open to dialogue, be it in class or outside of class and that I think is really rare these days. My cohort and my classmates are from different parts of the world. I have not had friends from across the world ever and this is truly an exciting place to be in that sense. I'm learning so much about different countries and how things work in the world just by virtue of being in a class where people are coming from all over the world. And lastly, I'd like to say that the institution as a whole really welcomes and takes care especially of international students and I have had no problems whatsoever settling in and there's been help available at every stage. So yeah, I've been extremely happy with my program and if you had to ask...
