"I study Cultural and Media Studies at the Institute of African Studies."

"My choice was influenced by my love for culture, history, media, and public speaking. I was looking for a perfect place to bridge the things I love. I walked up to the office of the Postgraduate Coordinator at the Institute of African Studies, made my choice, and picked up a form a few weeks later."

"The course changed not just my approach to learning, but my approach to life generally. It made me more grounded and helped me understand media analysis better. About research, we aren’t there yet, but we’re getting there."
