We were delighted to catch up with some of our amazing alumni at our winter graduation ceremonies to discuss what they gained from their Sussex experience. This is the third of their stories.

Here Naimat Zafary, from Afghanistan, discusses his family's perilous journey to the UK and the importance of education. Naimat is continuing his studies at Sussex as a PhD candidate.
