BA Digital Culture at King's?

So I'm an EU student and I'm applying to Digital Culture at KCL.
I have always been interested in the media and I always thought that I would want to work with the digital at some point... The thing is that this degree isn't specifically about the digital media, it apparently also covers digital politics/economics/business/marketing/programming and a bunch of other stuff that I'm not really sure about. And I am afraid that it will not really suit me, as I am interested in the media in general. I could still do a master's in the digital media afterwards, but I'm afraid that I'll be stuck with the it and won't be able to go into other fields such as tv or the print media if I end up changing my mind.
I know KCL is a well-regarded uni and the course does sound interesting, though...
What do you guys think? Does anyone study/know someone who studies this course? Or is anyone applying too?

As a student of digital culture of 2nd year I strongly don't recommend this degree, the way it is presented on the website is very misleading and makes you think you will be learning a lot of the practical aspects of digital media however it is only theoretical and is not relevant whatsoever towards gaining skills that will help you get employment. The only tasks you are asked is to write essays and there are rarely any modules with projects, and even the one with projects are not teaching you much. If i could go back in time I would choose Goldsmith university or City university.

Hey I was just wondering do you know if anyone in your course didn’t reach their offer requirements for their course? I have an offer for digital culture which is AAB and I fear I will not reach my B in french. Did a lot of people not reach their offers and still get their place?

I got AAC at A-Level and I was still accepted to study (in 2016). I think the requirements possibly may have even been AAA then.

Good luck!

Heya I'm applying for Digital Culture too!! The course does seem to have a large variety of other aspects that are integrated with the media, so if you don't think you would like it then I say don't go. Although King's College is a great university, I know there are others which have a specific media course (for instance Goldsmiths media and communications course - its 8th best in the word on QS rankings for media and communications). Don't just go because its a great university, if you don't feel like the course content is interesting for you, I think maybe apply to keep it as an option but see towards the end how your opinion changes!

heyy!
I was in the exact same position as you were: I really want to be a journalist, and work in the digital field, but I was really afraid that studying Digital Culture would end up restricting my ability to work in tv or newspapers if i wanted to.

Although the course does sound interesting, I ended up choosing to go for Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam because I feel like it will give me a broader idea of how it's like to work in the media, in general. And, as you said, not studying journalism at undergraduate level doesn't mean I can't get into it afterwards. But, like the one at King's the course I chose is very theoretical, so if you think you would like to learn more about the practical side of journalism right away, then I would say go for the degree at City!
