  • HE+ at University of Cambridge
    Jan 2025 - Jan 2026 · 1 yr 1 mo

    During my time as part of the HE+ programme, I had the opportunity to receive in depth, bi-weekly lectures on economics. This enabled me to expand my knowledge outside the regular curriculum, learning about Game Theory, universal basic income, and alternative measures to GDP. The programme was completed with a trip to Trinity hall college, Cambridge. During this we received a Lecture from Dr Julia Wdowin, who taught us about welfare economics and different ways to approach measuring welfare. looking at capabilities and functionings of individuals (researched by Amartya Sen) compared to resourcism.
