The student experience

walid lemrini

My Master of Arts in International Politics and East Asia (IPEA) provided me with the theoretical bedrock from which my understanding of APAC-related geo-politics and geo-economics, has flourished.

At the RSIS, the Master of Sciences in Strategic Studies has pushed me to develop a more practice-oriented approach to security issues that relate to the APAC region: terrorism, political risks, state tensions, disruptive technologies, etc. I partook in practical and analytical workshops run by APAC policy-makers, industry leaders and diplomats who taught me to consider the practical dimensions of corporate and state projects and policies. I also had the chance to work with senior analysts of the Executive Deputy Chairman’s Office and to co-author a published commentary.
