WHY STUDY MEDIA AT UNIVERSITY?
Found yourself with students who have a talent for media but aren’t sure what to do with it? This is the presentation for them; dispelling the myths about studying a creative course and looking at a range of topics including: subjects, student life and opportunities. This is an eye opening talk into how exciting and rewarding the media world can be and how university can help.
CHOOSING A MEDIA COURSE
If your class are unsure about which subject to pursue or where to direct their interest, this session will put their mind at ease and offer them practical advice. Finding a media course involves a specific set of criteria that they may not know about. Looking at the specific subjects we can help them find their ideal course.
APPLYING TO MEDIA
When it comes to writing your media application you really want to get it right first time and some students just won’t know where to start. So why not get Jack to come in and talk them through some of the criteria that our media academics look for when sifting through those personal statements?
