English and Journalism & Creative Writing, Strathclyde 2014

I got an offer for the same course, however I haven't made my decision yet, coz I have an unconditional place at the GCU's Multimedia Journalism as well.
While Starthy is a better uni overall, GCU has 2 accreditation and seems to be focusing more on the subject, so... well, i pretty much have no idea what to do as of now

I've got a conditional for this and unconditional for GCU, not sure what to take though since I should hopefully get my conditional. Leaning to this because I think the creative writing aspect would maybe suit me more.

Same with me! A conditional for Strath and unconditional for GCU. I'm actually already sure I wll meet my conditions, so that is not a problem.
However, I'm still kinda torn... I mean, Starth IS a better school, no doubt; but GCU is accredited and they really seem to focus on the course, while Starth is more about engineering and science... Huh, tough choice.

Yeah it's difficult. I still think there'd be a good level of focus on the course at Strathclyde, even if it's not what it's known for. Looks good and on a lot of the uni websites the students who did this were generally as satisfied as the ones who did the GCU course, so I think I'd like it but want to make sure I go for the right one. Probably will pick Strathclyde, but Cale's is good too so difficult choice.

Well, did you get a chance to talk to anyone currently doing any of those courses?
That would be super helpful and I think I'm gonna try to get in touch with some journalism students from strathy and GCU

I've accepted Politics and JCW from Strath !

I'm leaning slightly towards the Strathy, because it's as you say - with practically 3 subjects, it gives you a broader education.
The only thing that really ticks me off is the accreditation thing... can't really find much on the Internet on the importance of it, when it comes to journalism.

I've accepted my offer to Strathclyde to study English and Journalism & Creative writing!!

Just wondering if there's anyone out there that's already on this course that could give me a little bit of info? I feel kind of clueless about what to expect..

Also if you'll be starting the course this year let me know!!

Made my decision tonight to go for this course as my first course with GCU as my backup. Took me ages to finally click the wee button to confirm, but I've kind of been leaning to this one most of the way through so hopefully I've made the right choice.

Totally know the feeling, coz I did the same thing - confirmed the Strath with GCU as my backup.
It felt kind of liberating to finally have clicked that freaking button

Yeah a weird feeling but kind of a relief too. Might see you there in September then!

I'm basically sure that I have met my conditions, just waiting for it to be official, so good luck to you and perhaps we'll see each other in September!
