Having done previous studies focused on African economic history, I wanted a programme that would broaden my understanding of African history and provide a good foundation for doctoral work. What I found attractive about the MSc in African Studies was its coverage of both historical and contemporary themes on Africa as well as its multidisciplinary nature.  The diversity of student body not only made it easier to settle into Oxford, but living and interacting with such a varied group of people was in itself a valuable experience.  Looking back at the year that flew by, and its enriching personal and academic experiences I look forward to staying on in Oxford for a D. Phil in History.
