Student Media & Creative Industries
I chose this master specialisation because I’ve always been interested in how to be creative in media industries, as well as how creativity can be harnessed and produced. Being part of the Erasmus University Rotterdam allows me to be surrounded by international friends, which allows me to connect with different cultures and mindsets.
From passionate lecturers to amazing classmates
Media & Creative Industries offers a lot of opportunities for me to be creative, do what I like, and to help me invest in my future career as a design and/or marketing professional. What I find most interesting about Media & Creative Industries is how knowledgeable and open-minded everyone is. From passionate lecturers to amazing classmates. So far, I’ve never felt bored in any of my classes. For instance, one of my lecturers could have hours-long discussion about Netflix whilst another lecturer gets excited when he is talks about games. Having such lecturers in a programme not only helps me to learn, but also to pinpoint my own academical interest.
Struggles along the way
However, following a master is never easy. I still encounter struggles from time to time. University-related struggles are normally solvable, but when combining with everything else in life, such as the work, fitness, and social aspects, I often run into time management issues. Solving this matter is easier said than done and I’ve learned this the hard way – different tasks need different priorities and for me, school will always come first.
