MPhil Class of 2022

Aleena from the MPhil program got a Fulbright scholarship at New York University for MA in Political Science. She was also an intern at CPPG.

Experience at CPPG

“ I started out as an intern at CPPG in 2019 after graduating with a degree in history. Almost a year later, I went on to pursue an MPhil in Public Policy here. My time at CPPG has played a significant role in helping me get where I am today. During my time here, I have had the opportunity to learn from the best of the best and I couldn’t be more grateful! Studying Comparative Politics at NYU as a Pakistani student so far has made me realise that there is an immense gap in accessible research from Pakistan and that we have a long road ahead of us. However, that gap has also allowed me to bring the Pakistani perspective to the table in my classes. NYU is known for its diverse student body and inclusivity, more often than not, this has made me feel at home. I hope to make an impactful contribution to the research community while representing Pakistan for the two years that I am here.”
