  • My summer in Seoul

    I participated in the Sogang Summer International Program for a month and had an incredible experience. Despite the extreme heat and humidity of Korea at the time, I experienced a month full of amazing memories and met so many great people. Going into this short program I was a little worried about the language barrier,…

  • A Scottish Exchange at Dundee

    Expect lots of castles, lochs, pubs, kilts, ceilidhs and Munros (if you like) on exchange at Dundee. The design classes at Dundee are small but so caring! You’ll get your own desk and I was lucky enough to get the most welcoming advisor who helped make the most of my semester. I studied a narratives…

  • Greetings from Netherlands!

    Hallo!! Groeten uit Nederland! I’m currently just over half way in my exchange in Delft for my Bachelors of Product Design. So here is a little info of what I’ve learnt that you may find useful! To begin I would highly recommend coming in Australia’s sem 2 (feb- june). It may be an original shock…

  • Exploring Sweden: Daily Life in Jönköping, Sweden

    The months leading up to the exchange were filled with nerves and uncertainty, yet the underlying excitement could not be contained. Now, as I approach the final weeks of this chapter, I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to challenge themselves on both an academic and personal level. Academic Life at Jönköping…

  • More than just a learning opportunity in Mexico City

    Studying at Tecnológico de Monterrey for a business course and a beginner Spanish class was an unforgettable experience. Initially, I experienced a slight cultural shock, but I quickly adapted once I realized how warm and welcoming everyone was. Being surrounded by other like-minded students also made the transition smoother, and soon, I found myself immersed…

  • My new life in Manchester

    I’ve spent the last 6 weeks settling into my new life in Manchester. The city is so alive with history and culture, and I’ve loved exploring its different neighbourhoods and areas. Personal favourites include Ancoats and the Northern Quarter, which are so full of life and bustling with young creatives, with lots of great coffee…

  • “Introduction to Digital Photography” (University of Leeds)

    My two-week global short program at University of Leeds in partnership with UTS was such an amazing experience, full of learning, adventure, and forming friendships that I’ll never forget. From the moment I arrived, Leeds itself had this lively, welcoming atmosphere, and staying at Montague Burton residence on campus made it super easy to meet…

  • My Trip To NTU Singapore

    My journey with the Global Short Program at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore was unique and unforgettable. Singapore was an incredible opportunity to delve into social media marketing in one of Asia’s most dynamic hubs. In just two short weeks, I was able to explore a completely new country and experience a different culture.…

  • GEM Trailblazer Summer Programme 2024 @ NTU

    In July 2024, I escaped the cold, dry, Australian winter, to the hot, hot, HOT, Singapore summer. I arrived in Singapore a couple days before the course started, with my boyfriend and fellow student, and we explored the city before we started the intensive course: E-Startups and Social Media Strategies. The highlights: Hitting up the…

  • Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark

    This summer I commenced a semester abroad at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark. Unlike UTS, the school solely focuses on the discipline of architecture, resulting in an educational environment that intensely revolves around all things design and creativity. The school operates in a similar manner to a 9-5 workday with the expectation that…
