Landing a role as a writer / editor / journalist proves very difficult without being able to demonstrate either some prior working experience or a portfolio of some kind.

The job market is beyond saturated. Surge ahead of your peers in 1 month and become a published writer.

Join our magazine creation projects in Berlin. Write, edit and photograph the city to hone artistic disciplines that will serve you for life. Leave our programme with published work, a printed copy of your magazine and one foot in the proverbial door.

Have you ever wondered…

  • How on earth am I going to get ahead of the competition?
  • Where do I start a career in writing / journalism?
  • Is gaining work experience abroad the right option?
  • How can I get to know a city like a local?
  • Is it better to develop a new language in the county that speaks it?
  • How can I spend more time in Berlin?
 
If you’re a student coming towards the end of university you can probably relate to the headache of wondering what comes next. Around 200,000 humanities students grafuate from UK universities alone each year. Many will be vying for the same creative jobs as hundreds of applications for the same positions flood the market.

Our 1 month programmes are the perfect remedy. Come to Berlin, join our magazine creation projects and gain invaluable hands-on experience in writing, editing, photography and graphic design. Leave with published work and a printed copy of your magazine, perfect for launching your creative / journalistic career.
