Ksenia Ivanova<\/a> (International Class 2023):<\/strong> \u201cThe international class allowed me to make a dummy photo book, and participate in a master class with a Magnum photographer. We travelled with students and the wonderful Christoph Bangert to the opening of the World Press Photo exhibition in Amsterdam, and visited the opening of the festival in Arles. Most of all, I was glad to meet new friends in Hannover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n \r\n \r\n

Tanya Tkachova<\/a> (International Class 2022)<\/strong>: \u201cIt was a stunning experience for me to have a chance to be among professionals there. All courses were impeccably designed. Even if you have a lot of experience, you can still learn useful things to help you become a better professional. I met people and tutors who not only taught me a lot, but I also faced an unwavering support during my studies. Frankly, it has changed my life in Germany to some extent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n \r\n \r\n
