My experience in Norway over the past six months has been incredibly valuable. Joining the Master of Globalisation and Sustainable Development at NTNU enabled me to engage deeply with sustainable development and the interaction between human activities and natural landscapes. NTNU’s commitment to these areas was apparent from the outset, with professors seamlessly blending theoretical knowledge with practical application. Regular field research trips offered valuable insights into real-world implementations, essential for integrating sustainability principles into my research. The multicultural environment fostered rich exchanges of ideas. Making friends from diverse cultural backgrounds fostered a welcoming atmosphere, where I felt comfortable and accepted, enriching my overall experience. Engaging with international students provided diverse perspectives on sustainable development, sparking innovative ideas and collaborations. Exposure to different backgrounds enabled me to assess case studies more inclusively, shaping my research to be both impactful and globally relevant. Norway’s stunning landscapes served as an inspiring backdrop, emphasizing the importance of ecological balance. Overall, the NTNU exchange has been a significant step in my academic and personal development, widening my perspectives and strengthening my research capabilities.
