How did the master help you acquire tools that enabled you to face the everyday challenges in your organisation/industry? 

The biggest benefit that I've got from this master is the connection to lots of companies and industries that are the main players in sustainability. The project work with a partner company at the end of the Master was extremely helpful. The school curated several thesis projects submitted by partner companies, which are all diverse, interesting, skill-enriching, and relevant to the master, which led me to do my project work with an EPC company, researching Water Sustainability. In the end, the project work was a success, and I got hired by the partner company. 

How has the specialising master helped you cultivate your capital of human connections with professionals and companies?

Guest lectures from the School of Design and Engineering expose me to diverse perspectives. I learn how to integrate the importance of materials, design of product, and engineering principles into sustainable solutions. Furthermore, company and non-company guest lecturers share real-world experiences. Their insights bridge theory and practice, helping me understand the challenges and opportunities in sustainability.
