"The MSc Energy Policy and Finance stood out because of its interdisciplinary depth. The programme let me meaningfully connect policy, finance, and energy systems, not just academically, but in a way I could take back and apply to real reform challenges in my country. That combination of academics who are engaged with policy and real-world energy issues made the learning both rigorous and relevant."
"The human-centred element and interdisciplinary nature of the subject enables you to look at social and environmental issues from more than one perspective. I also enjoy chatting with other postgraduates who come from various backgrounds. They are progressive, innovative and passionate about their work and personal beliefs. It is inspiring."
"My work-based placement had allowed me to build connections within the digital museum industry and learn from first-hand experience of shadowing current working professionals in the field, and the exchange to study at the Ecole du Louvre was a unique opportunity."
