Thinking about a career in the media?

If the answer to the question is yes, then read on! We’re running our annual ‘Insight into Broadcasting and Journalism’ course on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th April 2011. My colleague Anna’s ‘Want a career in the media?’ post on the graduate blog gives all the details.

It’s the start of the Easter vacation so if you want to get into the sector and can stay in Manchester for a few extra days once term finishes, you may want to do so. There’s a charge for the course (£42.50) which covers course fees, materials, lunch and refreshments.

It’s a couple of days well spent learning from industry professionals – you get the chance to take part in interactive workshops as well as hear from current industry experts. Don’t take my word for it – one of our student blogger’s Priya wrote about it a while ago so you may want to read that review too!

If you’re interested make sure to get your booking form and payment in soon as there are only a limited number of places available and it’s a great way to get an idea of what might be involved in the industry, find out about successful routes in and meet some current professionals too! We hope to see you there.

Thinking of doing postgraduate study overseas?

Common reasons for studying overseas

• Learning or improving language skills
• Gaining cultural awareness
• Making contacts for future employment
• Doing a course not available in the UK
• Cheaper fees 

Consider carefully what you hope to gain from studying in another country, in some cases the fees may be cheaper but you need to be sure that this course of study will take you closer to your career goals.

 

These are our FAQs

 

Where can I find out more about studying overseas?
