Do you have any advice for students who might be interested in this course?

Do not go for the course if you expect a one-way, typical learning system. The dynamic and practical research-based format of study makes it very engaging. To enter this course expecting spoon-feeding would be a mistake.

What's your 'top tip' for making the most of being a student, and what was the most valuable lesson that you learned?

Being present – that's what makes all the difference between you having a memorable student life or not having one at all.

Can you tell us about your life post-graduation?

Although the pandemic has taken its toll on the industry, I have multiple options for pursuing a Master's abroad with a current job as a commis chef at the 5-star Trident BKC, Mumbai.
