"The Journalism programme at MIG doesn't just teach you how to report — it puts you in the newsroom from day one. I had published 12 real stories before I even finished my first year. Within three months of graduating I was producing segments for Joy News."

Abena Kwansema
TV Journalist, Joy News — Journalism & Media Studies, 2021

"I came to MIG knowing nothing about film. Two years later I had directed two award-winning short films that screened at FESPACO. The equipment is professional, the lecturers are working filmmakers, and the studio time is real."
