“My favourite part was the variety in every lesson, each day introduced a new topic, and I learned something different every single day. Exploring New York City with my friends, from Times Square to the Statue of Liberty, was unforgettable. We took so many pictures and made amazing memories!”

Studied in New York
“It was a unique experience, and I learned a lot about myself, especially through dorm life and being independent. I chose the programme because it connected directly to what I’m working on now, and I found sessions on marketing, manufacturing, and branding incredibly useful. The most beneficial part was the opportunity to network, it opened doors I didn’t expect.”
