Chris says...
"The strength of the programme is the balance between academic theory and practical instruction. Each course provided both the theoretical framework to establish our reference points and the real-world examples that let us put our learning in context.
I loved that we had a mix of academic and professional lectures, from university professors to NGO field workers, with a few representatives from business, independent researchers, and consultants."
