Journalism

Anyone doing Journalism now or in 06? I've applied and have two offers for it, just wondering how people are finding it and who's going for it :smile:

I've applied for Journalism, had offers from Salford and Chester so far. I have an interview and NCTJ entry test in a few weeks for Edge Hill and I had to do some written tasks for LJMU so im still awaiting a response.

Im really hoping for Sheffield, but they arnt making offers until Feb,and I havent heard anything from Preston (uclan) yet.

Hey!

Im looking to apply for some Journalism courses, well Ive applied at University of Sheffield (Buts it tough to get in), Huddersfield for Media/Sports Journalism, Lancashire's Uni, and Leeds Trinity.

BTW, Ive always seen myself as a theory person, e.g Im good at paperwork side of things, are the Uni's Ive chosen, will they be good for my style?

Also, is there a mix of practical? What practical work would you do?

Replies can come in at any time - but I got a letter from Sheffield saying they don't start making offers until Feb, so that they have all appications in before hand.

I've applied to do Media and Print Journalism at Huddersfield. I deferred my application last year, so I have a confirmed place for September now. Can't wait to start there now!
