Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) - postgraduate discussion thread

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here is doing MSc Environmental Management come September? Also, I was wondering if anyone knows the potential days we might be in uni doing a full-time course? :smile:

Hi, I’ll be starting an MA in International Journalism this coming September - I’m very excited to get started, too! 😊I’m just enquiring two things:1 - I know that the official course start date is September 16th; when do we enrol as new students?2 - I know what the modules on offer centred on for the 2018/19 cohort, which is very useful information, but I’m wondering if there’s a recommended reading list at all for the course? I’m just wanting to know so I can do some course-related reading before the course😊Thanks!

Hi @adiliux1

The course leader came back to me.

He said:

"The full time students need to be in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are a small number of occasions where they will need to be in on other days (for example for field trips), depending on which modules they take."

Let me know if you have anymore questions,
Bridget

Hi @michael_aw96

The course leader has come back to me.

Induction for MA students is on September 25, you'll receive notice of this in due course.

I would recommend one of the following for Global Media detail from the module's Core reading list:

Berglez, P. (2013) Global Journalism: Theory and Practice (Global Crises in the Media). Peter Lang: New York.
Campbell, Vincent (2004). Information age journalism: journalism in an international context. London, Arnold.
De Beer A. S. et al (2009) Global journalism: topical issues and media systems.Boston ; London : Pearson, Allyn and Bacon
Flew, T. (2018). Understanding Global Media. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.

On the practical and social media side try: Knight, M., and Cook, C. (2013). Social Media for Journalists: principles and practices. London:
And also: Sage and Harcup, T. (2015). Journalism Principles and Practice.(3rded). London: Sage. Chapter 3. What is news?

Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Hi,

I’m thinking about applying to do a masters in Psychology. They say it’s a full time course but it’s taught face to face in 4 intensive weeks and then the rest of the time is online learning. Does this mean I’d be ok with living at home and completing the course and commuting during the 4 weeks or will I have to still be around at uni during the rest of the time?

Hi, I’m applying to study MSc Human Resource Management. Was just wondering if anyone knows roughly how long it will take for them to get back to you once you’ve applied?
