Success Stories
Why did you decide to study “M.A.Convergent Journalism” (now “M.A. Digital Journalism”)? And what made you choose HMKW Berlin?
"I was searching for an amalgamation of theory and field practice, and I am really glad to say I got both. I was able to learn a lot about video and audio editing and producing, something that was absolutely alien to me. The ‘Convergent’ in the name of the program was what truly got my attention. I chose HMKW because I looked at a lot of programs around EU and inside Germany and this particular course outline was inspiring." Warda, 27
