The incoming class of 2027 represents students from countries such as Brazil, Cameroon, China, Czechia, India, Mexico, Pakistan, and the USA.
This diverse cohort brings a wealth of academic and professional experiences, holding degrees in fields such as English, History, International Relations, Fine Arts, Chemistry, Cinema Studies, Pharmacy, New Media, Philosophy, History, Linguistics, Political Science and more.
This diversity enriches classroom discussions, as students share unique perspectives and stories from their own cultural backgrounds. By working alongside peers from around the world, students gain a broader understanding of global issues and develop the ability to report on stories with cultural sensitivity.
As their two-year academic adventure begins, these students will immerse themselves in a curriculum crafted to develop essential skills and expertise.
Classes kicked off immediately after orientation, with the foundational Integrated Journalism course holding its first session on Tuesday.
