The International semester pro-gramme was definitely a life chang-ing experience for me. Not only was I challenged on a new level as a journalist, I met some lifelong friends and had a fantastic time in the process. All of the teachers brought a lot of experience and passion to each of their respective subjects, and I came out the other side feeling like a more competent and confident reporter.

The best thing about the course was the practical work, the detailed feedbacks and the well organised structure.
