"I found the lecturers and tutoring at the Regent’s American College London to be of very high quality. In particular, what I learnt about the British press and media has been invaluable for my work in PR. Combining academic studies with part time work was demanding and quite difficult at times. I think it is very important for students to broaden their outlook at the same time as studying, both socially and in taking on work projects. The faculty were very supportive in helping me achieve the right balance and get the most out of the experience."
