Hello! I've applied for Journalism at: Edinburgh Napier, Stirling, Strathclyde and Robert Gordon university. I also applied for media and communications at Glasgow Caledonian but that was mainly a back up choice. If you've applied to any of those unis please feel free to message me! :smile:

Hi! I have no idea what the interviews gonna be like. I'm assuming it'll just be an hour or so talking about our portfolio pieces then a chance to ask questions. I'm very nervous for it, how are you coping?

Hey! I applied for Napier and Caledonia, but haven't heard back from Caledonia yet and Napier want a portfolio piece first. Do you guys think it's because I'm international or is there another reason? I'm super nervous 😬Thanks for any answer :smile:

I just had my Napier interview! No clue if it was good or bad, but it was really short so I guess I didn't fare so well :/

How were your interviews and what did you think of how you did? Not only Napier but in general!

Hello I received an offer for MA arts and lifestyle journalism at UAL as i’m more interested in this kind of journalism rather than news journalism. I have also received an offer from Roehampton in MA journalism and I still cannot choose which one.

I also received an offer from Westminster in digital communication and social media but as an international student my dream was really to live in central london so I don’t know :frown:

Studying in UK costs a lot of money and I really want to make the good choice and I feel like it’s better for me to choose a MA that is really focused on journalism to get more jobs opportunities so I don’t know if I will end up choosing westminster :frown:

I like the fact that UAL is focused on arts and lifestyle journalism and I love the fact that it’s in central London. It’s also really focused on practice rather than theory and i’m really looking for this. On the other hand, Roehampton campus is so beautiful and seems really a good place to live here but it’s not in central london neither and ofc it doesn’t have the same reputation as westminster or UAL have :frown:

I just found out that I got into the MA in digital Journalism at University of Winchester (studied there as an undergrad) so really pleased to be going back to do my Masters there :-)

Hi! I've also applied for the MA Arts and Lifestyle Journalism and I got through to the interview round. I'm really nervous about the questions they'll ask, can you please help me out by telling me what kind of questions they asked you? I'd really appreciate it.
