Can only agree! Where else can you find an international program illuminating such timely and intriguing topics interdisciplinarily, with a small & diverse cohort allowing immense personal and professional growth? … And hang out with your peers and professors to watch and discuss movies on tech?
"This programme is perfect for people like me who are curious about the world and don’t want to be boxed into one area. I love how it brings together science, technology, ethics, and the way the world works."
