  • Uppsala University, Sweden

     

    Malmqvist2

    Hi there! My name is Emelie and I am about to complete my 6th week of exchange here in Uppsala, Sweden. Uppsala is mostly a student town with a population of around 140,000. It is located approximately 70km north of Sweden’s capital, Stockholm. Despite Uppsala’s small size, the city is full of character, history, culture which is guaranteed to keep you busy! Uppsala university is over 500 years old and is one of the oldest in Scandinavia, where students such Carl von Linne and Anders Celcius have studied and graduated (being a biology student I found this pretty awesome and exciting).

    So now that we have the need-to-know details out of the way, I will begin by sharing what my first few days here in Uppsala were like. It all started with the 32-hour flight from Sydney to Stockholm, with 2 layovers and jetlag. On day one, after receiving the keys to my room and awkwardly trying to become friends with people who spoke English, I joined a guided Walking Tour of Uppsala. This tour was organised and lead by fellow exchange students. The tour allowed all of us nervous newbies to become familiar with our new home and to meet our future besties. The experience was one of the best I’ve had so far. It is where I met my group of friends that I spend most my days with.

    Lucky for me, I had the first 5 weeks off before I started my university classes (most people started straight away). This gave me the opportunity to travel far and wide. In the time I had off, I travelled all the way up north to the Article Circle, where is was -30˚, then all the way back down to the very south, across the bridge to Copenhagen.

    Malmqvist3

    Alongside these adventures I found myself travelling to Lund and then again to Norway. I have also stayed local and explored the beautiful city of Stockholm and Uppsala. It is here I’ve devoted a large fraction of my day to having ‘fika’. Fika is a traditional Swedish, I guess ‘excuse’ to take a minute or five out of one’s day to have a coffee, usually accompanied by a Swedish cake or pastry whilst chit chatting with friends, family or colleagues. There are a number of student-friendly cafes around Uppsala where I often find myself meeting friends for a catch-up or to study. As I have only started classes this week, I don’t have much yet to report. My first impression is that the classes are tiny and the teachers are lovely! The class that I am taking, ‘Culture and Health’ is fascinating and unlike anything I have studied before, and has definitely opened my eyes to the many different cultures that I’m surrounded by.  I am so excited for the next four adventurous and educational months to come and cannot wait to experience the rest of this global exchange experience.

  • My Journey in Hong Kong – Hong Kong Polytechnic University

    Wu2

    My name is Xixi, I major in fashion and textile and I am currently completing my semester abroad at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

    My time in Hong Kong is coming to an end and I can’t help it but to feel upset because I will miss this beautiful city and everyone that I’ve met and befriended along the way. Although it has only been a short few months, this journey has definitely has enriched my understanding on life and opened me up to a lot more opportunities within the fashion and entertainment industry.

    Hong Kong

    Life in Hong Kong is very different to Australia in terms of cultures and customs. What’s special about Hong Kong is that you get to experience the fusion between the cultures of the east and west, as contrast between the old and the new; it is the modern and well developed business/fashion central of China but this bustling little city still maintains strict tradition dating back thousands of years.

    Wu1

    University Life 

    The student life in Hong Kong is also fairly different to UTS.  Poly U have a lot more societies and functions compared to UTS, especially for those who lives in the student halls. A little note – make sure you stay at the student accommodation provided because this way, you get to experience the ‘exchange’ life to the fullest and it’s also very cheap!

    Student Accommodation

    The student accommodation (Hung Hom Halls) provided is a ten mins walk away from campus and the optimum location to explore Hong Kong as it is close to key areas. The facilities in the halls are amazing, they have a printing room, study room, dance room, games room, swimming pool, gym, table tennis tables and a canteen. As for the dorms, every dorm has two beds, tables, a fridge and a bathroom to share with your suit mates.

    The hall life is great fun because local students will constantly invite us to functions and gatherings such as galas, festivals, hall dinners and so on. We (all the exchange students) will also come together and plan short getaways, night outs and hikes for example,  a small bunch of us went to Korea for Seoul fashion week !

    Tutorials & Facilities 

    As a fashion student I fell in love with the courses they offer here. Their fashion course is divided into 5 streams which includes fashion business, intimate apparel, fashion production, fashion design (knit or woven) and textiles design, and being an exchange student, you get the advantage to explore any courses you like within these 5 streams. The facilities here are amazing! There’s a knitting lab, weaving lab, sewing machine room, textiles lab, printing and dying lab – in short they have everything here you need under one roof! The tutors here are also very lenient with exchange students so uni life here is pretty chilled.

    Industry Connections

    Hong Kong being one of the largest fashion centrals in China gives you a lot of opportunities to meet industry professionals. What’s good about networking in Hong Kong is that industry professionals are happy to help and perhaps pass your resume on to other professionals which could hook you up with jobs and small internships. I have been fortunate enough to meet someone who works for a magazine and because of him I got a styling position for an issue in May. Another way to meet professionals is to talk to your tutors. All the tutors at PolyU have a lot of connections within the fashion industry so if you talk to them and show them your interest, they may give you some contacts and possibly get you an internship as well.

    Overall, I hope this blog post gave you an insight on my journey as an exchange student in Hong Kong and hopefully sparks your interest to do a semester aboard.

  • Meanwhile, in sunny San Sebastian…

    Over the past winter holidays, I had the amazing opportunity of visiting San Sebastián, Spain alongside three wonderful engineering peers. It was a two week engineering pro gram at the University of Navarra. The four of us from UTS had been split up into two of the three available courses, one focusing on drug development (biomedical engineering), and the other focusing on robotics.

    After finding out that I had been accepted into the program, I was both very excited and anxious. I had many concerns regarding accommodation and transportation, as I had never travelled to Europe prior to this. However, this anxiety was largely alleviated very soon after, as I was able to meet the three other students that would be joining me in Spain through the mandatory workshop. We managed to coordinate our flights and accommodation, finding a great airbnb apartment within 10 minutes walking distance from the campus!

    The two week course itself was structured very well. Each day, we had class from 9am till 1:30pm, with a lunch break in between the two sessions. The classes were run by Dr Jacobo Paredes, Mr. Javier Aldabai, and Dr. Kiana Aran. These three professors were very knowledgeable and helpful, being highly qualified professionals in the field of biomedical engineering. We had lectures, computer labs and biomedical laboratory experiments for each topic we had covered. As well as this, we were assigned fun challenges such as designing a pill with various enzyme specific coats, with the objective of reaching a specific part of the body. These exercises really allowed us to consolidate what we had learned, as well as allowing for creative freedom. The professors placed a strong focus on discussion, which I very much enjoyed. They had allowed all of us to share our ideas and encouraged us to think outside the box. It was very exciting to learn that Dr Kiana and Dr Jabobo had actually worked together on a drug mechanism known as MucoJet, which was very recently FDA approved and funded!

    While the content we were learning was really interesting, the course structure had also allowed for a lot of interaction and socialisation with other engineering students. Us UTS students were joined by 30 other American students, with the majority of them coming from the University of Michigan. During our scheduled dinners and city tours, we were all able to interact and share stories. I can’t promise that I have nailed the American accent, but I have many new funny phrases under my belt that I was very excited to learn.

    Overall, I found the two week course to be such an amazing and memorable experience. It went by way too fast! Before I knew it, I was back at the airport, ready to embark on my 30 hour adventure home.

    I was so honoured and proud to be representing UTS overseas, especially having discovered such amazing peers through this program! I would definitely recommend this to everyone, as I am sure I will be babbling on about this for years to come.

    Thank you so much to UTS build for giving me this opportunity, and I hope I’ll be able to do something as amazing as this again soon!

  • Exchange Life in Milan – Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy

    After being on exchange in Milan for over two months, I’ve come to know one thing very clearly: fashion is everything for Italians. This city has a touch of style in all aspects of everyday life, whether you’re merely having a coffee at a local coffee shop or attending the Fashion Week and seeing the models walking on the stage dressed in the latest designs of famous brands.

    There are a lot of reasons why studying in Milan has been a great experience for me so far. First of all, the Catholic University of Sacred Heart looks incredible and has a beautiful campus. The university’s rich history and traditional Italian architecture style make it one of the most iconic landmarks in Milan.

    Prusnekova1

    Secondly, the subjects I’m currently studying are different from what I study at home at UTS. For example, one of the electives I’m taking here is called ‘Luxury for Sustainability. How Values Meet and Cross in Corporate and Brand Communication ’. In this course, I am learning about how brands and companies can implement sustainability to help the planet yet preserve the appeal of style and luxury for their target consumers. As a communications student, I find it very interesting to explore a new perspective on the meaning of sustainability in the corporate context and how as a communications professional I can become a “green stakeholder”.

    Thirdly, one of the best parts about the exchange is that I managed to meet a lot of great people and travel around Europe in a very short period of time. I have become a part of ESN which is a university club that organizes trips around Italy as well as events, parties and tours for international students in Milan. The last party organised by the ESN that I went to was the Milan Pool Party which was held during the Spring Break period. There were a lot of students from different universities, water slides and big warm pools which is a perfect combination, especially during winter!

    If you’ve never been to Europe before, Milan is the perfect place to start. Milan’s location is very central which makes it quite easy to travel around Europe as well as within Italy. If you’re afraid of the language barrier – don’t be! The university allows you to take a language course simultaneously as you’re studying for your electives. Yet even if you’re not planning on learning to speak Italian, the university staff are extremely helpful and international students here in Milan are very friendly because, after all, everyone is in the same boat!

    Milan is something not to be missed and I feel incredibly lucky that I am here today on exchange. And if you are still not convinced, here are the photos of all kinds of coffee I had as well as an example of aperitivo*.

    Prusnekova2.jpg

    Prusnekova3

    *Aperitivo is an equivalent of happy hour. It’s popular particularly in the North of Italy and what this means is that you can buy one drink that costs around 8 – 12 euro (13 – 20 AUD) and have a buffet for free! You can refill your plate as many times as you want. Some places may have time limitations on the buffet, making it only 2-3 hours, however, in most places aperitivo lasts longer. The photo above is the aperitivo I went to in Navigli, the region of Milan.

  • Mange hilsner fra København! University of Copenhagen, Denmark

    Hello from Copenhagen! If you’re like me, the thought of being in a new country without your friends or family is just daunting, Nej Tak! But alas I write to you after a lovely night of hygge with my lovely friends from all around the world sipping mulled wine and nibbling on hummus and rye bread, talking about our dreams to touch every corner of the earth. I made sure to sign up for any orientation activities so my first week in Denmark consisted of figuring out how to pronounce my own kollegiet and a bunch of cringe worthy ice-breakers, which turned out to be totally worth it. Speaking of ice, Denmark is cold, VERY cold. After spending 17 years of my life in humid Hong Kong and hiding from the Sydney sun in UTS building 5, the negative degree Celsius weather took a bit of getting used too. It’s especially funny when I walk into a heated room, cheeks bright pink and the top part of my hair frozen and lumpy from bike riding in the snow.

    Pittman1

    I’ll be honest, I’m not the most confident bike rider. I used to giggle when that one guy on the electric scooter zoomed past me whilst walking through south concourse, but I take it all back especially when I’m sweating though a thermal and two jumpers as I push through third gear on a slight incline. But after a month and a half I can coolly flick my wrist to indicate and mount and dismount my skinny red bike in one fluid motion (with trial and error of course) and I’ve learnt to always ride with both hands, especially after an incident involving a pedestrian crossing, not-so-sensitive foot breaks and a large soy latte.

    Pittman2
    But if bike riding isn’t your forte, the transport system here is phenomenal. Buses that are on time? What!? Monthly public transport passes? Sounds like total fiction to anyone living in Sydney. Just don’t get caught without a pass though, it’s a hefty 750 kr on the spot fine. On the topic of money, students have it really good here. From discounted bus tickets to Germany or free admission to museums, I’ve felt the love from Copenhagen. There’s no shortage of book launches or start-up events where you’ll have a chance to grab a free tinny. But in my opinion, when it comes to eating out, there is not much variation in prices, everything is a bit expensive.

    Pittman 3

    Classes on the other hand have been… interesting, to say the least. I was lucky enough to be able to take four electives across different faculties and can (try my best to) tell you about anthropological approaches to medicine and economic policies to reduce environmental impact by a firm. However, I would recommend to future exchange students to do something really unique to their host university, for example there are a bunch of masters and bachelor classes that are super specific to this region such as arctic mammal biology or Nordic mythology.

    Pittman4

    My living situation has been really great. I found a studio through the Copenhagen housing foundation and everything has been perfect. I live about fifteen minutes on bike from the science campus and about twenty minutes from the central business district in Nørreport. There are many other kollegiums available, I would probably recommend a place called “Basecamp” which is a converted army barracks super close to the CBD and in between the 3 main campuses. It’s full of other exchange students and someone is always throwing a birthday party in the basement.

    Pittman 5

    In the meantime, I have taken up film photography and joined one of the many gyms full of beautiful Danish men and women. There are many sports teams and opportunities to become part of a community here in Copenhagen. It definitely helps to be spontaneous and open minded about new experiences as you never know what you’ll be doing and who you’ll be with in a week. My messenger inbox is littered with group chats discussing travel plans and dinner dates with people who were strangers like me only two months ago. Overall Denmark is quite spectacular and I highly recommend it as a place to come for exchange. I am even looking into coming back to do a masters in global health in 2019 or 2020!

  • Paris – City of Love

    I spent two weeks in Paris studying Luxury Brand Management at the Paris School of Business.  The weather is absolutely wonderful over there, summer in Paris is so different compared to Sydney.  The sunsets don’t come until 10 pm, with night time being quite short. The summer weather was so comfortable at 27 degrees.

    We went on many after school excursions as a group, visiting places including the Montparnasse building which shows 360 degree views of Paris. There was also so much food to taste which definitely added to the experience.

    The study period was very short and quite fun. I can’t speak any French myself, however,  all the classes are taught in English so there wasn’t a real language barrier. It was a great experience if you are willing to get to know new cities and their culture. Champs Elysees is well known for its theatres, cafés, and luxury shops.

  • Australia to Austria with my young family  – WU Vienna

    Matthew 1
    The last time I wore a t-shirt – leaving Australia with my family – February 2018

    A new home

    Although I was sure to convey an air of confidence when talking with others about our plans to relocate to Vienna, so I could undertake a double Masters, the truth is I was a little uncomfortable about the proposition. My wife and I were fortunate to have good jobs, our two beautiful daughters were enjoying daycare and we have great family and friends in Australia. Life was good, but, we wanted to experience life in Europe as a young family for a time and after much discussion and deliberation we decided to go for it, a month and a half into our 12-month stay we couldn’t be happier.

    Vienna is a vibrant city full of amazing architecture, great people and it is a fantastic place for a young family. There is a playground on every corner (slight exaggeration, but almost!) and we have been lucky to find a great area to live and a wonderful kindergarten for the girls. Life in Vienna is particularly easy; it has just been voted the most livable city in the world for the ninth straight year, by Mercer’s annual Quality of Living Survey.  We’ve been to museums, galleries, ice-skating and are starting to explore the surrounding area and learn more about the local wines, which are excellent by the way. Given the cold, we’ve had -15 a few times and I often leave home dressed like an arctic explorer, we’ve had our fair share of days spent inside but made sure we ventured outside for the occasional snow-ball fight or to build a snowman, this has been a real thrill for the girls.

    We arrived in February and I started a three-week intensive German course almost immediately. This has given me a small arsenal of words to assist in day-to-day life but I have a long way to go. Language has not been an issue, and we have found a bilingual kindergarten so the girls are at ease and picking up some German, which we are particularly pleased about as we wanted this to be an experience that would benefit all of us.

    WU – First impressions

    Wirtschafts Universität Wien, or WU for short, is an amazing campus in the second district of Vienna. It is near the centre of town and, having relocated in 2013, it is blessed with state of the art learning facilities and striking architecture. WU has approximately 22,000 students and enjoys partnerships with over 200 universities globally, ensuring a diverse student base and international feel.  WU has received recognition, through certifications such as EQUIS, as an outstanding academic institution and my first impressions support these awards as all the staff have been particularly impressive, more importantly however, they have all been extremely welcoming and helpful.

    Matthew 2
    They call this the Summer Semester, seriously. Photo taken at WU Campus February 2018

    The teaching is structured differently; many subjects are undertaken in a block format or dispersed at differing intervals so the ‘one class a week for a semester’ format is non-existent. The students are of a particularly high standard and the in class discussions have impressed me enormously. In general, I have found everyone to be highly capable and driven which is the perfect environment for me. I am both excited and feeling tremendously privileged to be able to spend a year at this incredible university.

    In and around Vienna

    Ok, I admit it. I may have had an ulterior motive for choosing Austria… The skiing is world class and there is lots of it. Austria is blessed with some of the best mountains for snow sports in the world. Skiing is a national fixation and they even have a week off school, literally called ski-week, so they can hit the slopes. I’ve managed to get a couple of weekends in so far, before uni work really kicks in, and I have not been disappointed. The après events also provide a unique cultural experience that I would highly recommend to all visitors.

     

    Austria is a cultural hub and has been home to some of classical music’s biggest names, furthermore, Vienna enjoys significant art, science and history collections. We visited the Austrian Military Museum and stood less than a metre away form the vehicle Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in, it is truly an amazing piece of modern history. A walk through the first district will not disappoint, with St. Stephans, pictured above, being one highlight. Vienna’s proximity to Eastern Europe in particular makes it a perfect base for travel, if you’re feeling adventurous Budapest is less than two hours away by train. I cannot imagine we will be struggling for things to do over the course of the year and we plan on making the most of our time here together.

    If you are considering WU I would highly recommend it and am happy to make myself available to discuss this with you upon request. Auf wiedersehen!

  • Bienvenue à Angers! ESSCA School of Management, France

    Emilio 1

    Do me a favour; close your eyes and imagine the typical French city…Angers is all that and more (I promise).  With the empirical cathedral, the rolling hills of vineyards, the old cobblestone streets and the chateaux (castle) that overlooks it all, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re living in a fairy-tale.

    To put it simply, the city is gorgeous, and the people even more so.  Angers can be considered a ‘university’ city, with over 30,000 students descending on the city each semester out of a population of only 160,000.  And with all those university students, I can promise there’s always fun to be had in the (seemingly) endless list of bars and clubs across the city.

    But we’re here to study of course, and that’s where ESSCA comes in.  Specialising in business, the university is quite small which makes for a very unique and diverse experience to that of UTS.  Being a European university it has also given me the opportunity to study courses that are not available in Australia, such as European Economics, which has proved to be incredibly interesting considering the EU’s current state.

    Student life is not just limited to the university, however. With basically everyone living in close proximity to the university, the connections between the students are very tight and although it may seem intimidating to make friends initially, the French students are extremely welcoming and encourage your participation in their shenanigans.

    I’ve even been lucky enough to join the ESSCA football team, and I write this from France’s version of ‘uni games’ which has been an amazing experience!

    If doing weekend trips throughout your exchange is your thing, Europe is perfect for you! It has an incredibly well connected transport network and once you can work out the system, you’ll manage to find some amazing deals.  Everything is also incredibly close too, you can hop on a 2 hour flight and be on the other side of the continent eating different food, speaking a different language and experiencing a different culture.  We even managed to spend 9 days in Morocco during spring break!

    For those considering an exchange; do it! I promise you won’t regret it.  Although it’s been difficult at times (especially those incompetent French bureaucracies), the experience is eye opening, life changing and above all, a fantastic challenge.

  • A Fashionable Summer in Milano

    Milano… the fashion capital of the world that lived up to my every expectation.

    My three week program ‘Fashion and Design Management’ at the University of Bocconi was something i had been planning and hoping of getting into for two years. The University in it’s self is one of the top 10 business university’s in Europe and the actual program ‘Fashion and Design management’ was exemplary. From the abundant knowledge the lecturers shared to the fun and cultural excursions to Valentino headquarters in Milan, Gucci Gallery in Florence and MAC Cosmetics. We had extremely experienced people in the Fashion industry come to the University as guest speakers and provide knowledge on the companies they work for. The companies they represented were Kering Eyewear, Intercos and GCDS. It was extremely valuable to hear experts in the industry share their knowledge  and insights.

    A great attribute of doing a BUILD Abroad program is the diverse cultures and people that you meet. There were people from 43 different countries doing a summer program at the University of Bocconi which allowed me to make friends from all over the world. The friends i made will be life long friends and i plan on visiting them in the future. Countries where they were from included Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and France.

    My apartment was situated in a suburb called Brera, which is the fashion and arts district of Milan. The first morning of waking up, i sat on my little balcony over looking a lively bunch of restaurants, bars, fruit stalls and old churches. I could smell the roasting of coffee and croissants… my favourite! I instantly  knew the next few weeks of living there would go beyond my expectations.

    On the weekends i had time off from the university program, so made sure to make the most of being in Italy. I travelled to Lake Como for the first weekend and Sicily for the second. Conveniently some of my friends from UTS were doing abroad studies as well so we were able to meet up in these locations. I can say that a lot of pizza, pasta and Aperol Spritz were thoroughly enjoyed! We spent our days swimming off the rocks in Sicily, exploring old Italian ruins and enjoying the local cuisine.

    Although this experience only lasted 3 weeks, i have gained so much knowledge not only in the industry of fashion and design management but also personal experience of putting myself in an unfamiliar environment and pushing through those moments of  uncertainty to gain unforgettable moments of clarity, excitement and a whole new love for a city which was once unfamiliar.

    This course has brought me closer to understanding what i would like to gain and the direction i would like to take in my career. Since i have one semester left, this course and it’s timing has been invaluable to me.

  • YOOOOOO I’m Marco. Coming to Hong Kong I had many expectations, I wanted a change and I wrote down a few goals or even a bucket list that might sound a bit outrageous. Personally, I strive for any opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and to explore the world while I can. City University was the perfect opportunity where I could test my own spontaneity and ambition.

    I’m assuming the underlying reason that you choose to take part in the Exchange program is being able to escape the ordinary life in Sydney and really take a chance in focusing on understanding/improving yourself to become more independent. City University has many students who were very kind hearted enough to guide me around when I first arrived. The hardest part is to expand your connections with the students at City U. For the months of being in Hong Kong, the culture can sometimes be very different to Sydney. Individuals are usually less willing to open and speak with foreigners. THIS IS THE PART WHERE GETTING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE can create new discoveries. Many students have not been to Australia, and are dying to understand our culture.

    kwong-marco-1.jpg

    Were you ever a night owl? Or really disliked the public transport back in Sydney for always being late? Well, Hong Kong is definitely the place for you. There are different traditional Hong Kong Chinese restaurants that serve all the way up to midnight. I even had the chance to get to know some of my new University friends by going to supper with them. It is called “消夜 … Siu Yeh” in Cantonese, it might even give you a chance to gain some lifelong friends by adopting this bad habit of eating so late.

    People here are much more fast paced and busy, so busy to the point that even the elderly will push their way through to beat you up the escalator. The public transport here is called the MTR, trains pretty much can allow you to travel through the whole city, and trains come every 2 minutes on average during peak hours and around 3-4 minutes off peak. One of the most difficult things to keep in mind, is to stand on the right hand side of the escalators!

    KWONG Marco 2

    If someone asked me to describe Hong Kong in one word, it’ll be LIT! For those who support the “Work hard, play hard” motto. This could just be a bonus of why you must come to Hong Kong. Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) is a street filled with Nightclubs and Bars, the night outs here are far better than Sydney. One night out in a club called “Play”, I met many new local friends, one in particular really stood out. Little did I know, he actually takes ownership in many of the shops on the Shoe Street (Fa Yuen Street – this Shoe Street is one distinctive street that only sells fancy runners from brands like Vans, Nike, and Adidas). He asked me an interesting question, “so coming to Hong Kong, what ambitious goal did you set yourself”. I stumbled for 20 seconds then I said, “I’ve always wanted to create a lifelong memory like maybe being on a shoe advertisement that is going to be placed around in Hong Kong”. And yes, he did say yes!

    All in all, Hong Kong will always leave a lifelong of memories and really has allowed me to change to the individual that I always wanted to become. If there is a place on earth that I’ll recommend you to, this place would be Hong Kong. Don’t think, don’t question, just do it.
