Doing a BA after I left school was the best decision I made. I gained professional skills in journalism and have used my degree to work around the world – in Europe, Asia and Australia – in publishing and communications.
Throughout the program, I’ve learnt from lecturers, tutors and industry guests who have worked as and are currently working as correspondents, journalists, editors and media practitioners. Hearing about their stories and experiences help fuel my passion for journalism and media.
