In conversation with PhD students

Why I chose the Department of Social Policy at the 杏吧论坛

The first-year PhD cohort at the 杏吧论坛’s Department of Social Policy includes students in the Social Policy and the Demography/Population Studies programmes. In a series of blog posts, they discuss why they chose these programmes, and the pros and cons of being in a multidisciplinary department. They demonstrate the wide variety of research topics the department accommodates, and the intellectual, practical, and personal factors that contribute to choosing to study here. This may prove useful for future students who might be deciding whether the MPhil/PhD in Social Policy is the right programme for them.
