Shuaib Jalal-Eddeen, Global Prosperity MSc student, 2019-20.

Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme student.

My experience of the MSc Global Prosperity programme was nothing less than outstanding. Apart from the multiplicity of seminars and workshops I was exposed to, the programme was rigorous, flexible and allowed for a multidisciplinary approach which meant I was able to pursue different academic interests. On one hand, I was conducting research on fintech and financialization, and on the other, I was learning about how social innovation labs could be adapted as impact tools for people and society. The Global Prosperity MSc has taught me things that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

The Global Prosperity MSc allowed me to understand global challenges in a critical way, to rethink problems based on new alternatives and inclusive research methods and to experience, from IGP projects, how solutions can be addressed under real-world conditions. The debate and conversation were beyond the classroom, with teaching staff always keen to listen and encourage students’ ideas on transformation.

I was looking for a programme that could liaise to real-world problems from an interdisciplinary perspective. The IGP provided the flexibility to pursue a wide range of topics that converge in the idea of making a more prosperous future for communities around the world. The diversity of research interests and backgrounds from the IGP community creates a really thrilling environment and enriches professional debate and practice while maintaining a very close and caring community.
