    Erasmus Exchange - Business Communication/ Marketing ManagementAarhus University
     - Aarhus, Denmark
    During my studies, I did a study exchange for one semester at Aarhus University, combining modules from business communication and marketing management course. The choice of destination was influenced by the strong reputation of Danish education, along with the personal perception of Denmark as a country with international recognition in the contemporary fashion industry. This exchange not only expanded my networks on an international level, but moreover, I had an opportunity to work on projects for a local brand and thus gain a new perspective through understanding the local market and culture.
