“The best thing about the course was the practical work, the detailed feedbacks and the well organised structure.” Tina Wender, Germany
“I was challenged as a journalist in ways that I have not been challenged before. I came away from each workshop feeling that I had learned more about international journalism and had improved my journalism skills.” Nadia Chiesa, Canada
“The International Semester program was definitely a life changing 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.” Gemma Black, Australia
