Scholarship Students

Xiao Wang, second Dr Yungtai Hsu Scholar 2009/10

Dedicated to science and technology studies since high school, I came to realise that it usually takes too long for science to be introduced into the real world and bring changes to the fast deteriorating environment. Having obtained a Bachelor's Degree (first class honors) in Environmental Life Science, I took the plunge to shift into social sciences, particularly environmental policy formulation and implementation. Studying at ECI I find myself a member of an enlightening expedition with world-class scholars and professionals, all striving for a better future for our environment. I am grateful to be a joint-awardee of the Yungtai Hsu Scholarship, which enables me to conduct more extensive research and establish broader academic and professional networks.

Yuqing Cui, first Dr Yungtai Hsu scholar, 2008/09

"It was my great honour to be granted the Dr Yungtai Hsu Scholarship while I was studying at ECI. The scholarship set up a bridge between the aspiring students in China's environmental research field and the ECI and St John's College. Not only did it make my study travel possible, but its spirit - to devote to the environmental improvement of China, will always inspire me in my future career".

Yuqing's dissertation IPR and Environmental Sound Technology Transfer: the Contestation between China and Annex I Countries was published on 19 May 2010 by LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing.

Natcha Tulyasuwan, first Boardman Scholar 2009/10

Natcha Tulyasuwan, first Boardman Scholar

I am an economist by training and a graduate of Lund University in Sweden and Thammasat University in my native Thailand. I worked for UNDP, UNCTAD, the European Commission, the Mission of Thailand to the EU and the ERM prior to my studies at the ECI. I applied to the ECM MSc as I believed it would widen my perspective of global environmental solutions and allow me to meet with like-minded people with a passion to change the world - it has met and exceeded these expectations. Thanks to the Boardman Scholarship, I was granted this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that otherwise would not have been possible for me.

Leon Westby, Rhodes Scholar 2009/10

Leon Westby, Rhodes Scholar

I have always been fascinated by the complex and intimate relationship between humans and their environment. I read natural and agricultural science for my first degree and worked for several months as a high-school science teacher and then a forest officer, both jobs cementing my interest and passion for environmental management. I desired advanced studies in domestic and international environmental policy, and in my search for a graduate scholarship I discovered both the Rhodes and the ECM course. Winning the Rhodes scholarship afforded me the indescribably rewarding opportunity to read for a masters degree that equips students with the requisite knowledge to deal with the vagaries of the formidably dynamic and increasingly polemic profession of environmental management. I stand in awe of the skills I have garnered and the brilliant friends and colleagues I have secured. I am grateful for both the Rhodes Scholarship and the ECM course, any future professional success is rightly ascribed to this scholarship and the ECI's crafting of a wonderful Msc course.
