Isaac Arul Mahesan

Hear from Isaac, our Singapore Government Scholarship (Foreign Service) scholar who had completed his undergraduate studies studied at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK and his postgraduate studies at the Columbia University, US.

"Being an MFA scholar has opened up my world in so many different ways. I’ve had the chance to expose myself to varied and rich perspectives from all over the world, which has helped me challenge and refine my understanding of the world and my place within it as a Singaporean. My internships in Singapore and London also provided a thrilling taste of a career in diplomacy - assisting with preparations for the Forum of Small States summit was memorable and meaningful, while helping my mentor with political reporting on current events, politics and laws helped me understand more clearly the work of an FSO at post."
