What are they doing now?
A recent BSc graduate is moving to Malawi in a few months to work for a farming company running their development strategy. She volunteered with them during her time at City and her research project was funded by them. She is then doing a Master's at SOAS, and says her City tutors are the reason she got the placement.
A recent BSc graduate went back to his home country, Palestine, after completing his studies. One month after arriving in Palestine he was hired as the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded, AMIDEAST implemented, Model Schools Network (MSN) Programme.
