i mean i might be biased for saying this because i'm gonna go there but i think lincoln offers a variety of things you could delve into within the course like design, tv and radio. Worth having a look at.

Media production courses are generally too broad to have industry accreditation.

I would recommend taking a gap year and trying to get some industry experience to help decide what industry and role you’re hoping to do after your degree so that you can choose something more specific.

saying that though, wouldn't courses like medicine or law generally be "too broad"?
Not meaning to criticise, but i think the fact that the course could open doors to many job opportunities is a good thing as there is many to try. :smile:

. Personally, I have tried to get industry experience before but it is quite hard for someone that is not studying to a degree in the moment to get hired, even if for general assisting.
I think the point of the course is meant for you to develop specific interests throughout it, which can lead you to picking what area to specialise in. Even if its not as detailed it can allow you to be able intern in different areas of the media because there's a bit of everything in the degree. Thats my opinion anyway.
