While it deeply focuses on the concentration that I adore, it also offers opportunities for me to explore so many different routes, where I might want to position myself in the future.

What do I like the best?    
I love the vibrant new life that I’ve built here in Copenhagen. As our class schedule is quite light and manageable, I have time to invest in different things beyond school and explore myself with hobbies, jobs, projects, travelling and friends.

What do I think is difficult?    
I was struggling with choosing a study method that would work for me for a while. How to take notes efficiently, for example, as we do not use laptop for studying back in my home country.

What do I want to do after finishing my programme?    
While I’m pretty sure that I want my future to involve creativity, designs, and architecture, the exact path is still a bit hazy. I love continuous learning, so I’m open to trying out different things along the way, and I’ll see how it goes. 

If I could give myself a piece of advice, before starting it would be…    
When choosing a programme, take the time to explore all the opportunities the programme offers throughout your academic years, such as scholarships and exchange programmes. Also, consider the potential pathways for pursuing a master’s degree after completing the programme.
