MPhil in Sociology (The Sociology of Marginality and Exclusion)

The benefits of the MPhil at Cambridge is that it allowed me to audit courses within the department, and outside of it. I wasn't trained in Sociology as an undergraduate student, so the flexibility of the course allowed me to learn deeply about marginality and exclusion from a sociological perspective, while complementing my knowledge from other disciplines. 

The core modules in the MPhil are small and intimate, which was a huge advantage, especially after spending four years of my undergraduate studies in large lecture halls with little opportunity for interactive learning. 

Marginality and Exclusion pathway allowed me to focus on a specific research area, which then laid the foundation for my PhD topic.
