Aha nobody has got Sheffield yet. Judging from last year, the offers are all likely to be given out on the same day/couple of days...

Yea... Apparently on the 16th... that was what it was last year.

Hey, i'm Monica, I want to study journalism and i have applied to:
Sunderland
Westminster
Staffordshire
Edinburgh napier
Central Lancashire
And i have already got unconditional from Sunderland.
How do you think in which university is most worthy to study?

I am applying journalism myself and I have been to some of those places and researched the living daylights out of it. There is good places that are not on your list. But just on your list I would say the best there is Edinburgh Napier and worst by a mile is Westminster. It would go:

Edinburgh Napier
UCLAN
Sunderland
Staffordshire
Westminster

Good luck :smile:

I'm undecided! It's my favourite uni by far but i'm not sure on the course, think broadcast journalism would be better for me at my other options. I'll see when I go for the post applicant day, I'm sure my obsession for Sheffield will be rekindled then! How about you? :smile:

Most of the second year at Sheffield is broadcast based, and in the third year you choose to work on either a broadcast or print portfolio. So if you don't mind waiting a year you'll be doing a lot of broadcast anyway :smile:

Congrats to those who got Sheffield offers! :biggrin:

Thank you! :smile:

Oooh that's so helpful, thanks! I was a bit wary because at the open day he said only a tiny bit was broadcast journalism and it was heavily focussed on print. Do you know if you get a showreel at the end of the degree at Sheffield?
