It has been a great opportunity to understand study contemporary development issues in a multicultural and multidisciplinary learning environments where students and lecturers come together to share their knowledge and expertise. I am excited and enthusiastic by the wide ranging challenges and solutions, which not only address real life problems, but also a bridge to further education. 
MPhil in Development Studies offered me the best possible graduate experience in a multicultural atmosphere. It gave me the opportunity to interact and share knowledge with people from many different cultures around the world. 
The structure of the MPhil in Development Studies with the experience from students all over the world provided a unique environment for relevant and critical learning. Through the fieldwork I had a chance to engage with processes of change first hand and develop as student, person, and future professional. 
Apart from learning about challenges facing developing countries and acquiring useful skills as a researcher, I really enjoyed studying in an international environment. My dream came true with my research experience in Africa. Becoming a student in MPhil Development Studies at NTNU was the greatest decision of my whole academic life.
