| Comment | I'm a Journalism Studies grad and can confirm that without additional practical skills and contacts picked up on your own time, the course won't get you far in the field. My uni friend who had the strongest media career actually studied History, but made the contacts and put the practical work in. I did a couple of years as a magazine writer/editor which gradually mutated into PR, comms and events.
It may have changed over the years, but pals who did the Film and Media practical courses felt a bit short-changed, especially those who had done college courses and felt like they were retreading old ground rather than learning new things. It looks like they might have bulked that side up since my time, but if that's your core reason for studying you might want to look at your options.
Absolutely loved my time at Stirling though, campus living is great fun. |
