My name is Abdi, and I work as a video journalist and cameraman at CBS News. I recently completed the Storytelling Master’s at Â鶹ֱ²¥ University while working a demanding day job, and I can honestly say it has been a transformative experience.
The course strengthened my storytelling skills, sharpened my critical thinking, and gave me the confidence to tell my own story in my own voice. I was exposed to fresh perspectives on storytelling, power, objectivity, and truth, ideas I would not have encountered otherwise. These lessons have already begun to make me a better cameraman and journalist.
What made this programme possible for me was its flexible structure. Studying part-time and remotely was the only way I could balance further education with a demanding career, and Â鶹ֱ²¥ is one of the few universities that offers such an option in storytelling.
The support from the teaching team was excellent, and the community of fellow students made the experience even more rewarding. Being able to study at my own pace, while still feeling guided and supported, made all the difference.
