University of Portsmouth Vs University of Hertfordshire Vs Bournemouth University

I have received admission letters for the MA Media and Communication program from the University of Portsmouth, the University of Hertfordshire, and Bournemouth University. I am currently undecided and seeking advice on which would be the better choice for an international student, taking into account factors such as the quality of education, student-friendliness, part-time job opportunities, and accommodations.

Hey @Adhi123,
Congrats on your offers and great that you're considering Herts 🙂
I think you are most likely looking at our MA Journalism and Media Communications course? This programme offers high quality teaching from industry experts and award-winning lecturers who are highly skilled and experienced in print, web design, journalism and PR. You would benefit from our strong industry connections and networking opportunities, particularly as a result of our close proximity to London (we're just 25 mins north of London by train) - our graduates have secured great placements and gone onto work in a variety of exciting media roles.
As an international student, we support you and your future in every way so that you achieve your goals. We have excellent, modern accommodation (shortlisted for 'halls and student accommodation in the 2023 Whatuni Student Choice Awards) and aim to house our postgrad students together so that you can make the most of your uni experience.
There are lots of fantastic part-time work opportunities, both on and away from campus that not only help financially, but also help build your CV and confidence. Do read our part-time work page for more of an idea of the jobs that students can take on.
We have our postgrad online Q&A coming up in March if you wanted to speak directly to our academics/course leaders to find out more about postgrad study and your specific course of interest, as well as life and opportunities here at Herts. You can register here.
I hope this helps, but do reach out to our International Office via [email protected] if you have any specific questions. Our website is a great source of information and you can always ask again here.
All the best with your decision!

Thank you for the detailed information! I'm excited about the MA Journalism and Media Communications course. With my skills in web design, graphics, print and digital design, advertising, filmmaking, and writing from my BA Mass Communication and Journalism background, could you share details on how the course enhances these areas? Also, does it help refine my resume and portfolio for better employability in the media field?
