"After my MA of Development Studies and Culture Change I have started to work for the UN World Food Programme in Bangladesh. I enjoyed the flexibility of the courses at Macquarie, allowing me to work and study at the same time. I also highly appreciated the liberty in choosing the topics that I was most interested in for my assignments. My degree has been crucial to my career.Thanks to my studies at MQ I have had access to many and new opportunities including the chance to go monitoring a development program in Cambodia."
