Share Your MAGMa Journey

Make your mark. Send us your #PostcardsFromMAGMa.

The MAGMa programme is more than an academic experience—it’s a journey through Europe, rich with cultural discovery, professional growth, and meaningful connections. Just like sending postcards home, we invite you to capture and share with us the moments that define your time in each city.

Send us your #PostcardsFromMAGMa—photos, videos, and reflections that highlight your experiences both in and beyond the classroom. From iconic landmarks, trips with classmates, and academic insights to everyday moments that shape your journey, your contributions will inspire future students and showcase the depth of the MAGMa experience.

We’re thrilled to join you on this once-in-a-lifetime journey, and can't wait to see it through your eyes.

Seal your postcard, stamp it with your unique perspective, and send it our way via email—we’ll make sure it reaches the people it’s supposed to.

Send to: arts-studentrecruitment@glasgow.ac.uk

Share Your Experience With Us

Send us 5–10 of your best photos capturing a specific experience, day, or semester, along with a brief description of each—or a short paragraph summarising where you were and what you were doing.

Videos are also welcome, whether it’s an aesthetic montage, a vlog-style clip, or a candid moment that brings your experience to life.
