While the war in Ukraine is on-going…a diverse group of international researchers wrote about how media in different countries covered the conflict. The result is a broader perspective on how major media outlets nowadays, in the social media era, handle war propaganda machines. I am very happy with the contribution my colleague Mintah and I made to this research. Our chapter talks about how Ghanaian media dealt with the Russia-Ukraine conflict in their publications. Read our findings here: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003431862-5/secondary-source-reporting-norm-liesbeth-tjon-meeuw-philomina-odi-mintah?context=ubx

Hey people, are you still with me? Let’s also give you some useful insights about the process of applying for studies abroad. As you probable already know, it comes with a whole list of documents that you have to submit. Such as the application form, resume, transcript, recommendation letters…etc. Now, make sure that every document is in perfect order. Meaning, the document itself is authentic (written by YOURSELF) and without any typos. It is always good to ask assistance from seniors, especially they ones who went through this process before.

Tomorrow afternoon you will have the opportunity to ask all these questions, when I interview a former student of mine who is NOW doing his Masters in the UK. Tune in here on my Facebook-page.

As a teacher, I am often been asked to write recommendation letters for former students. Note, that I only agree when I actually know you personally and you have worked DIRECTLY under me. If you have just been a student in my class, without participating in the extra activities I have offered you, chances are, I won’t. Because a recommendation letter has to give a personal account of you based on my own experiences with you in the classroom. I don’t do ‘general’ letters in where I just say some nice things about somebody, even though it might not be true. My reputation is also on the line here.

Another tip is that you don’t give up after the first rejection. It could take up to two years before you actually got a successful entry. Doing these applications more than once, can help you to become better in writing application letters. If you really want it and you are PERSISTENT, you will struck gold at some point.

Here’s another good tip for all of you who wants to study abroad: CHOOSE WISELY! A lot of you are looking for opportunities in the US and the UK. Did you know there are thousands of other schools in the Northern part of the world that are welcoming foreign students with open arms? Places such as Norway, Turkey, South Korea, Argentina….etc. They offer a variety of international programs on a quality level. And your chances to get in ARE HIGHER because they are not flooded by applications like the British and American universities.

The key is to look for the course in your FIELD OF INTEREST on websites that collect scholarships, fellowships and grants from different universities and countries. Check out some of them below here. Yes, you have to search and google and keep searching until you find something that SUITS YOU. Don’t just pick a course because you want to go abroad. Pick a course that is in your own area of interest. Remember you will study this for at least 1-2 years on BA or MA level. Therefore you better choose something you REALLY would like to do.

Keep following my page, next week we will interview a former student of mine about his experiences abroad…
