Life in Nantes, France, has been amazing but quite different from Australia’s. Being just 2 hours from Paris means weekend trips every other weekend, including other neighbouring cities such as Bordeaux! The academic load is much lighter and less demanding than at UTS, so we are left with lots of free time to explore and…

My time at Sophia university has so far been the most valuable experience of my adult life. Firstly, it is an international university and is very English friendly. This may seem like a strange statement in a world where English is the de facto international language, however, I was not prepared for the lack English…

Unlike many global exchange students, my journey to Sophia University in Tokyo was not one I had originally envisioned. Initially set on completing a full year’s study abroad in Beijing, China, as part of my degree and as an ICS student, those plans were soon thrown out of the window with no great thanks to…

If someone had told me I’d be shipping off to some quaint English town three hours away from London for an exchange, I would have looked at them as if they were insane. If you ask me about it now? Best decision so far. Hiya! I am Siona, and I am currently studying industrial design…

My global short program experience in Spain was truly something that I will never regret. The connections I made with people have extended beyond the tour and are rich in shared excitement for landscape. Going to Spain allowed me to learn about landscape projects that photos cannot capture, gaining professional inspiration that I could get…

In December 2023, I was blessed with the opportunity to complete some units of study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to study cross cultural design. This would be my second time leaving the country, the first time which was way back in 2015, so I was extremely excited to experience a new culture and country. Me and…
