MA Arabic and Economics, 2000 Since completing my MA in Arabic and Economics at Edinburgh I have continued to focus on the Middle East. I spent a year working for a small risk consultancy advising on political, security & economic risk.I then moved to the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES), an oil & gas journal, in Cyprus where I followed banking, finance, and economics-related news in the Middle East and North Africa.I am now back in Exeter nearing the end of an MA in Middle East Policy Studies and still working for MEES part-time.
