| Why did you choose the Master's program in Public Administration to further your studies?

But this MPA fitted well into my Academic background and it is providing me with policy skills that I would possibly use once we achieve democracy in Swaziland | |

| How have you developed academically while attending the Master's program in Public Administration? The program has helped me develop analytical and research skills. | |
| What is the subject of your master's thesis? Why did you choose this topic? Democratization in Swaziland;the role of external actors. I chose this topic because I am a political activist fighting for democracy in Swaziland. Our struggle generates less interest from the international community, even from those who proclaim to be promoters of democracy abroad. The international community continues to support the repressive monarchy in Swaziland. As a student of MPA it is interesting to note that the regime type influence the type of policies that exists in a country. | |

This is a good program that will sharpen your theoretical understanding of the public policy world. | |
| Why should new applicants come to Bergen, and the University of Bergen? Bergen is a lovely and small city. Everything is around the corner. The university of Bergen for me is the Best University. There are s many opportunities for students to learn even outside the lecture rooms. Through seminars organized by different departments and the different student organizations on interesting topics. | |
| Do you have any tips for new Master's Students? Study hard, but most of all remember to enjoy Bergen; even when its raining just go out . It is a wonderful city |
