The world was our classroom this summer. 🌍✈️

From the creative industry’s biggest stage in Cannes, to communication and culture in Barcelona, to visual storytelling across Prague, Berlin, Dresden and Vienna, SoC students took their learning far beyond campus through three unique study abroad experiences:

🇫🇷 The Cannes Lions Experience

🇪🇸 Global Communication and Social Media

🇨🇿 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 Film and Photography in Europe

Along the way, students connected with industry professionals, created work in international settings and experienced the cultures shaping communication and media around the world.

These are just three of the many ways University of Miami students took their education global this summer. Check out the University’s full story here → https://multimedia.miami.edu/canes-summer-abroad-2026
