At the end of the first year, students will be able to choose from pathways in Media Production, Communication, Public Relations and Advertising, and Journalism.  Students will have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals throughout the course and can benefit from industry links by opting to complete a work placement year.  Alternatively, students might decide to expand their educational experience by studying aboard between Years 2 and 3. Students will also have access to award-winning Careers and Employability Service with its network of over 3,000 employers.
