What our students say
This is a new course (September 2016). Graduates from the University’s existing Journalism BA degreehave had this to say:
“The course reflects a real life-working environment – a positive aspect to prepare you for the real world. The tutors are all working journalists themselves so they give great feedback and sound advice based on their firsthand experience. There is a group on Facebook which is useful because staff, students and alumni all give each other advice and support, and let each other know about an internship or a job opportunity if they see one.”
