Our lecturers Jaime and Victor visited Swans International School in order to deliver a practical workshop to IB students of the Media Department. Pupils learnt about the fundamentals and advanced features of a full frame camera to better understand how to use the camera as well as different shooting techniques so as to get the images they want, and not the ones the camera wants.

At Swans International School Marbella, (soon to be Dr) María Blanco, professor of Contemporary Middle East and Islamic Studies at MIUC, gave a talk to IB students about how to apply to universities. She shared with Swans pupils her own experience about the process of applying to a university and explored the available courses and disciplines in higher education.

Career Day at Swans International School in Marbella
Last Friday, for the first time and as only university, MIUC was invited to participate in the Career Day at Swans International School in Marbella. The event was organised by the Head of Business Department Chris French and Head of Communications Shahed Kavousi.
MIUC spent the morning in direct communication with Swan´s pupils. Professor of Economics Ming Jin and Patricia Skorsetz from Administration shared their points of view and experiences working in a university. While Ming Jin spoke enthusiastically and convincingly about the career steps necessary to becoming a professor and academic researcher in economics, Patricia provided the pupils with the answers to their queries concerning the vocation of an administrator and its essential role within a university. Pupils also gained insight into the different options available to them at MIUC, should they decide to pursue a University education.
