Photography and Graphic Design or Tv production and photography?

Which of this courses should I chose? which one will give me more carrer options?
Hey there Ronnie,

Sorry to see you haven't had any replies yet, hopefully, I can help bump the post for you.

When choosing my university and course, I definitely thought a lot about where I would feel most comfortable and happy, as I knew I wouldn't be working to my full potential living somewhere where I wasn't. Looking at the course breakdowns also really helped me to figure out which courses would suit me better.

Which university has the best facilities and which allows students longer access to both equipment and lecturers/ tutors?
Which has modules that suit you better? You can usually find module break-downs on the course page of the website or prospectus.
Which cities do you prefer and why? Where would you be happier living?

Alternatively, the way I figured out which course to choose/ area of art to specialise in was to complete a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. I found it really pushed me to think outside the box and broadened my mind further when it came to art. Not only that, but I was struggling to decide whether to pursue Fine Art or Photography, and it helped me to decide on specialising in Photography for my degree. It gave me experience in exhibiting my work, visiting exhibitions around the world and taught me new mediums - some that I had never even heard of before.

Although it is not relevant to the specific universities you mentioned, hopefully, this will help you with your decision. Feel free to ask me anything else and I will try my best to answer!


Hope this helps,
