Master degree 2008-2010

I studied my master degree at Aalborg University from 2008-2010. It was the first time my master degree was offered and as always; a new education can struggle to find its feet. So it was very broad topics with the notice; that you could become anything you liked. I had to find my own path in this, but I like the fact that you are able to impact and create your own expertise within a broad field through the semester Projects and problem-based learning. It wasn't as hard as I had imagined (coming from a different type of education). I liked the freedom and requirement of independence that the program offered. I had a good experience; I know that program I studied have developed a lot since then and I think it has been for the better; some of the structure and topics we lacked are now a part of the program.

High class

A fantastic university of high class, high ambition and high prospects for the future. I'm proud to have cardiff on my cv and am privileged to be part if such a fantastic institution, I wouldn't have rather spent my four years at undergraduate level anywhere else.

Average experience

La trobe is known for its strong focus on research and social impact, with a reputation in areas like health, science, and education. The university emphasizes global engagement and offers a wide range of courses. It's just that the large student population can lead to a less personalized learning experience.
