Anna M from Poland: "I chose this course because I'm really interested in developing my knowledge of different cultures, and learning about different stereotypes and 'going over' those stereotypes - I was really interested in that.  The whole environment, the way they treat you here: they make you feel equal - you can learn a lot from the helpful staff and your fellow students.  So, I would recommend it highly.  To be honest, it was a hard year but it was one of the best years of my life.  In the future, I am thinking about working in an international company and putting the skills and abilities that I've developed here - especially the aptitude to talk to people from many differnt countries and cultures - to good use."
