The MA student view
Our MA students come from a wide range of backgrounds, and from across the globe. They learn, participate, and make contributions to our community by studying on the MA Migration and Refugee Studies or the MA Migration and Global Development.
We asked four recent Migration Alumni to feedback on their experiences at Sussex, and how this shaped their personal and career developments.
Here's what Sami, Ana, Mami and Okan are doing now:
- Sami Barefield (USA) - Victim Advocate at Kentucky Refugee Ministries.
- Maria Rosiana 'Ana' Sedjahtera (Indonesia) - Programme Assistant II in Empowerment and Social Cohesion at the UN Agency for Migration, IOM.
- Mami Kamoshita (Japan) - Programme and Operations Officer at the UN International Labour Organization (ILO).
- Okan Kaymak (Türkiye) - Migration Specialist, at the Presidency of Migration Management Türkiye.
