Daveena Saranna

"It really is an honour to have been chosen for this bursary! I have worked really hard for the past few years and having been with the department for my undergraduate degree meant that I was constantly inspired, challenged and supported to be the best, academically and professionally, that I could be.

The bursary has helped me so much with my finances, especially as postgraduate loans are smaller than their undergraduate counter parts. The Alumni Discount Scheme also ensured that the funding I did have could be used for my research and participating in university sports clubs."

What are your tips for applying for the bursary?

"Just do it! I truly applied on a whim, not thinking I would get it. It’s a good process to go through to improve professional skills but also makes you realise all of the wonderful things you’ve accomplished, which we tend to forget about!"

What have you enjoyed most so far about the MASc degree?

"Everything! I like how the degree balances breadth and depth of subjects well and allows us to collaborate with other students in such a unique way. The assessments have really prepared me for both work and future research and I would recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their skillset and learn about sustainability in the broadest sense."

What are your hopes for the future?

"I am applying for the PhD course with the department, as I’ve enjoyed the MASc so much and I feel like I am in the right place with the right people to continue my research."
