"This year has been transformative for me. While I had the opportunity to work independently, I also benefited greatly from the support and collaboration of my fellow students and the guidance of our course supervisors. By the end of this year, I’ve come to appreciate that nothing is impossible with collaboration. I’ve gone from not knowing how to program, recording audio, and running analysis to feeling confident in tackling even the most challenging tasks I once thought were impossible." MSc Conservation Management of African Ecosystems student
