"Hi all, my name is Rutendo, one half of HMU. In this episode, Gwen interviews me, and drills down to get a deeper understanding of my journey on the Undergraduate and Masters programmes, and how those experiences led to my PhD studies. The discussion on the Undergraduate and Masters programme canvases my motivations, the difficulties I encountered and finally; the experiences that drove my desire to pursue further education and the realities of being an international student. As such, this episode gives context to the experiences and reasons that inform why and how I eventually wound up considering and embarking on a PhD study."
