Doing a Master of Journalism and International Relations at Monash has been valuable and worthwhile. This course was engaging and challenging, with some of thefinest teachers I’ve ever come across. I now head into journalism with confidence and am excited to apply my knowledge. Also, electing to complete a half-thesis in my final semester has been excellent, with great one-on-one time with an expert in the field I chose to research.
