I hope that specialising in security will allow me to gain employment in policymaking and defence in the public or private sector. I am also really interested in peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction and would be interested in working abroad for an NGO in the international development sector in the future.

I found researching and creating a policy brief on the impact of anti-personnel landmines on human security really interesting. Landmines cannot distinguish between civilian and combatant targets. Due to this, civilians, deminers, and aid workers are all disproportionately killed and injured by landmines. Bans and restrictions on their use in war is an international policy concern!
