Programme: MPhil Technology Policy 2019
Country: Singapore
Company: Legal Innovation & Ventures, Clifford Chance
I have always sought a union of my two primary interests – a desire to understand, and account for, the development trajectories of emerging economies, as well as an interest to harness the transformative power of technology to influence the former. This programme has enabled me to marry these interests, as well as supplement them with the technical skills needed to effectively integrate technology, management, economics and policy. The connections I've forged here at Cambridge and the real-world applicability of content has allowed me to direct the transformative impact of technology towards the delivery of more thoughtfully designed policies, both in the public and private sector.
