Dear readers,
As we start today’s newsletter, here is a masterclass recommendation for your Sunday! Catch Hertie School Professor, Dr. Shubha Prasad talk about -
Her global career in International Relations and the importance of interdisciplinary thinking.
The Hertie School experience and pedagogy of discussion for a cohort of global students.
The art of debate and engaging with diverse ideas
As you watch this masterclass, you can also find out more about Hertie School and the programs that they offer here!
Earlier last week I was interviewed by a leading Indian newsletter to talk about my decision to pursue a Masters degree in the UK and share the factors and criteria, I considered while deciding. I gave a fairly simplistic utilitarian answer of my interest in academia and how getting a Masters ‘felt like the natural next step’. It’s only after the interview and with a little bit of self-reflection that I have realised that the decision for Masters is a lot more layered.
In today’s newsletter, I would like to share my mental frameworks for college selection and applications, and reflections from the first week at University of Oxford.
