    The best Universities for Journalism?
    I've just finished my first year of college and produced A* results. I would like to know which Universities specialise in journalism, and whom are the best in the country. Thankyou.

    When I've worked on journalism placements, the emphasis has been on a good first degree and then getting your NCTJ or a similar sort of postgrad diploma, though I do know people who have got direct jobs with journalism. None of them studied it at undergrad.

    Kent has just been rated number one by the NCTJ for journalism this year, I'm hoping to start there in September.
