University of Amsterdam - UvA Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Digital Media and Culture

My professors were extremely enthusiastic, and inspiring about the world of cinema. They would each have their own niche and their backgrounds and culture are reflected in their teaching styles.

They were supportive in making us aware of the endless possibilities that the media world innovates. Having done the film track, it was rigorous to learn about how this beautiful form of art bridges communication gaps to its spectators, enriching them with philosophical point of views and how cinematography prevails amongst global political matters!

The university was super international, beautiful, situated near a canal, creating a pleasant atmosphere for the students and encouraging the student community to stay focused and thrive in extra curriculars, such as thatre, art and design at CREA.

Education, cirriculum

The electives chosen, such as gender and social inequality in latin america have taught me about cross-cultural collaboration, diaspora and juridicial problems. Working on group projects, supporting and helping other students thrive in their fortés has helped me to set boundaries in an educational and working environment.

Having been a part of Inter (a student political party assocation) was an opportunity to an introduction in the world of Politics, which I value when applying them to social, historial and global politics and understanding different governing systems across the world.

What truly set this program apart was its practical experience: creating short film and documentaries on any topic of our chosing opening up views of queer subjects in Amsterdam’s LGBTQ culture.
