"As a Peace-Builder and Global Ambassador for “Let Girls Learn”, I also want to focus on peace building for young people by introducing peace studies into education systems. I really want to work with different governments to see how we can integrate peace studies into global education."
Jeeyoung Moon

"I believe my experience in Bradford has allowed me to develop the skills and capacities I need to reach my full potential as an agent of peace. It will broaden my perspective and encourage me to work hard to find better solutions and become a valuable member of society."
Tamanda Liyao
MA Peace, Conflict and Development
After her undergraduate degree in International Development, Tamanda did an internship at TEVET Authority in Malawi.
"I definitely want to go and work with the women on the ground for a couple of years. With that experience, I then want to go and work with organisations that make and change policies that will help people. I want to be a policy maker and I think I can only do that efficiently if I've actually got that real-life experience."

Momo is from Tokyo in Japan. She has previously studied International Relations at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University and completed a year as an exchange student in Canada.
"In the future, I want to work for an international organisation such as the United Nations (UN), to help people who are affected by conflict.
