In my master's programme in Global Change Geography we are instructed by a team of professors standing at the forefront of climate change research. It's amazing to be instructed by people who have contributed greatly to the scientific community's understanding of the field. Additionally, I am improving my German skills day by day through the excellent language courses offered by the university.

I joined Humboldt-Universität after 15 years at the University of Oxford. Berlin's diversity and international relevance were key factors for my decision. The city provides a stimulating research environment with great opportunities for collaboration, funding and new initiatives. Humboldt-Universität's excellent reputation and network allow me to tap into this enormous research potential.
