Testimonials

Portrait photo of a young woman with long straight hair, wearing a black sleeveless top. She is looking at the camera with a serious expression and has a nose ring. The background is neutral light grey.

While studying New Media Language, I learnt not only the basics of linguistics and copywriting, but also filmmaking, video editing, and even creating 3D models of various objects. This study programme spans several disciplines and offers flexible learning paths that can sometimes be unrelated to your studies. But that’s the fun part – the freedom to discover your own career path and carve your career according to your own wishes.

Portrait photo of a young woman with straight blonde hair, wearing a black blazer and a beige top. She is standing straight and looking at the camera with a serious yet calm expression. The background is light grey and neutral.

These studies have given me the opportunity to develop my skills of writing different types of texts in English, to speak more confidently in public, and to find my feet in marketing through flexible learning paths. The knowledge I gained has opened the door to a wide range of careers: I’ve tried on the shoes of an advertising copywriter, a communications specialist and a social media project manager. So I know that there is a real need for creative and language-savvy professionals in the job market.
