The one year MA in International Journalism I did in Cardiff University provided me with priceless knowledge and learning about the practice of journalism from an international perspective. It also taught me extensively about the history and background of the main events of this last century. The teaching included numerous amounts of assignments where we had to develop our journalistic skills as in a news desk: contacting sources, doing interviews and contrasting our information.
