Seven Questions with... Aimee Connolly

Aimee is a full-time postgraduate student undertaking a MSc in Public Policy. Here, she shares with us her first week's experience of remote learning, how she avoids distractions at home and her top tips for preparing for online classes. Why are you interested in your subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. Everything in society is impacted by public policy decisions - education, the health system, the environment, housing, the economy etc. As I majored in Business and Political Science at undergraduate level, I have always been interested in analysing the complexities of who makes important policy decisions, what evidence these are based on and the impact of these changes. I have a strong interest in higher education policy and so I hope to work in a university, think tank or government organisation focusing on the future needs of students and higher education institutions in a changing world and how policy needs to reflect this. How have you found the move to online learning at UCL?.
