Here, I not only won the valuable International Journalism Week competition opportunity and achieved a good result of the second prize, but also served as a poster translator for our International Journalism Week. These small achievements provided me with a valuable foundation for applying for a doctoral degree and helped me get a fully funded scholarship from the University of York.

For those who want to apply for MA Global Journalism at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ, I must say that you are making a wise choice! I hope that you can make full use of your precious time at the School of Journalism, Media and Communication. Let a variety of courses bring you a broad perspective on journalism and help you get a brighter future.
