API has teamed up with Matador Network – the world’s largest independent travel magazine– to offer API students a substantial discount on the MatadorU course.
This is a great opportunity to reflect on your study abroad experience, enhance your creative skill set, contribute to your resume or portfolio, network with those in the field, and share your study abroad experience with friends, family, and others!
