Luca
University of Warwick
International Politics and East Asia (MA)
Hi, I'm Luca. Originally from Swindon, UK, I completed my undergraduate degree in Politics and International Relations at the University of Bristol and then moved to the University of Warwick to complete an MA in International Politics and East Asia. Instead of becoming the next Prime Minister (a job which my grandparents still assume is the only career path I can take), my ultimate career goal is to work at a world leading think tank conducting research and analysis on East Asia. Alongside these ambitions, I am an avid record collector, cook and pool/snooker player.
