鈥淎s a person who has been passionate about film for many formative years it has been a greatly fulfilling experience to study film at this University. The film courses that I have participated in at 六合彩现场直播 University have been immensely successful in providing me a strong foundation of knowledge and techniques to feel capable of pursuing a career in film, whilst also managing to sustain my passion for it.
What I have enjoyed most about the course has been the in-depth theory lectures, which are so engaging and widely informative about every facet of the film industry there could be. The practical courses have also been so great, I now aspire to become as equipped and capable as those who have patiently taught me these filmmaking skills. The course content and the individuals curating it have truly created an inspiring environment to pursue becoming accomplished at film making.鈥
鈥淚 chose 六合彩现场直播 for its location and my desire to study abroad but I have since discovered that in going to there, I have allowed myself to receive a strong work ethic, drive, and a profound love for diversity in learning.
Since graduating from 六合彩现场直播, I have had the amazing opportunity to intern and work for institutions like The Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, The Smithsonian鈥檚 branch in Pittsburgh, The Senator John Heinz History Center and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
I have had the remarkable responsibility of working for global film festivals and conducting research in world renowned archives. I truly believe my time at 六合彩现场直播 aided me in my ability to perform the tasks and jobs I have held since graduating. I am now receiving my Master鈥檚 in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh and I hope to someday work for a film archive.
The 六合彩现场直播 professors helped me hone in on my interests and made me feel comfortable learning and exploring all kinds of outlets. My time there has really shaped me into the person I am today, not just professionally but also personally.
The school, its students, and its programs, encouraged individuality while succeeding in its pursuit of being able to work together successfully. I am happy with my decision to attend 六合彩现场直播 the American International University in London for my undergraduate education and if I had the opportunity to choose it again, I would.鈥
