Journalism offer holders 2012

Welcome to the thread we've set up for those who have applied via UCAS and received an offer of a place on a Journalism degree at City University London.

Please use this thread to introduce yourselves to your (potential) future classmates, and to discuss any topical Journalism issues you think are interesting. (If you have any views on phone hacking, for example, this is the place to share them!)

Also feel free to ask us questions about studying Journalism at City. (Remember you can also contact us by emailing [email protected].)

Please note that the university is closed from Saturday 24 December 2011 – Monday 2 January 2012 inclusive. We’ll try to check this thread from time to time during the holidays, but it may take longer for us to respond than usual.

Enjoy this thread, and we look forward to meeting you!

(PS. if you're thinking of applying to study Journalism at City and have a question to ask, please either contact us directly via our profile, start a thread, or send us an email. We'll be happy to talk to you, and hopefully we'll see you on this thread a little further down the line...!)

Just read the conditions of my offer, it seems realistic to me, I really can't wait to have the results of my exam to see if I can go into City University!
By the way, is there other international students who got an offer for BA journalism? I'm french and I'm scared I'll feel lonely next year haha.
And does anybody know when does the course start?
I'm so excited about moving to England next year and start studying journalism at City University! :biggrin:

Got my offer on Saturday! So excited, but wondered if you could help in choosing my insurance offer as I have interviews for both unis... London College of Communication or Westminster to study Journalism? Also, how many of you are staying in City halls?

I am, but as I won't be 18 in September, I already know that I'll be living at Liberty Court.
For your insurance offer I don't really know London College of Communication, but I know that Westminster has a very good degree and this is also my insurance offer (If I have an offer actually, I still have to send back their questionnaire).

Good to know I won't be the only one! I already supposed there will be other international students, but I'm glad to have a confirmation :smile:

Most people live at halls during their first year, then hand over whatever's left to the next incoming students (once the beer stains have been rubbed out of the sofa and the fires have all been put out.)

Is this anyone's first choice I wonder? I'm undecided, but its definately starting to lean in that direction. Journalist opportunities in the capital are endless. If only they improved the Boris-bikes then it would be a deadset choice

I'll be an international student too, I'm from Italy :smile:

I've got a conditional offer from City Uni, I hope I will get the required grades, I'm SO scared I won't.. But this offer has given me more motivation to study and have better grades in school, so it's all good!

Ok ... so now the question is where to live? I know that a lot of students lives at City Halls, but is there anyone considering a place outside the uni?

Recieved an offer a few weeks ago :biggrin:

so happy, City will be my first choice and I'm thinking LCC as my second. Thinking of applying to Uni accommodation too but rates are so expensive!
Has anyone started looking at the sample essay yet?

Let us just take in the decision of getting a place at City first, then we can start looking at the sample essay :wink:

Hey!
Nice to meet you all :smile:

I've got an unconditional offer for BA Journalism and BA Journalism and Psychology :smile:

don't know what to choose. Most probably first one though.

I am an international student too (from Moscow, Russia), but already live in London.

Yeah thinking maybe LCC, but out of LCC and Westminster, which has a better reputation? Also, don't think I'm going to stay at halls. Got some friends who advised me to do private accomodation, however really looking forward to meeting new people through freshers and everyone on the course! City is my first choice btw, it has such a good reputation with newspaper employers.
