Maria’s perspective on the MPA programme

“What are we feeling, guys?” I asked while scrolling through the options. “Tired, emotional, hungry…” My group had just walked out of the Bank of England, having successfully delivered our final MPA Capstone Project presentation after a week of late nights, Co-Op dinners and making friends with the Sardinia House security guards. We were in the process of posting a celebratory photo on Facebook, and having a hard time settling on a mood to accompany the post. “Accomplished?” We all looked at each other, smiling and nodding. “That’s it! Accomplished.” Six months of gruelling research, countless phone calls and interviews, hours-long debates and endless meetings had just culminated in a killer presentation and Q&A session. I’d say that yes, we were feeling pretty darn accomplished. And maybe a little hungry.
