I started off my 2025 jetting off to Berlin, Germany to complete a three-week intensive language learning course at Humboldt-Universität.

After backpacking Europe in 22’, Berlin was a city that I felt really inspired me creatively [the gritty art scene, nuanced design, collaborative working spaces] and I…

So, I have just about completed my first month on exchange from UTS and if you want the TL;DR, it is this – Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, let your university years go by without doing an exchange semester. The opportunity to even just experience life in another city, another country, is something that…

The opportunity to complete my thesis in half the time and travel to Europe—how could I say no? Eager to build international networks and potentially contribute to positive change within the world, I felt incredibly fortunate to have been selected for this Faculty-led Global Short Program.
