"The Sociology of Policy in Practice specialisation has provided me with the possibility to gain more experience in doing research in the field, while at the same time embedding the research in a professional context and working with professionals on tangible social problems. This allowed me to put to practice the lessons I had learned during the Master’s programme whilst contributing and adding the insights that had been obtained during the fieldwork to existing development projects.
