UK unis dont care much what u do lol just get the grades requirements (/equivalents?) and have a good enough personal statement, getting into queen mary, bristol and sheffield will be harder than the others because they are russell group unis, good luck!

You'll prob get into all of them since journalism isn't a competitive course. btw in the UK you have to apply through UCAS, so you can only choose 5 unis to apply to.

Your chances are HIGH! Those universities are all broke and desperate for international applicants. Even if you don’t make the grades they’ll take you. I know someone who got in Exeter with an IB score of 28. They would have never admitted anyone from the UK with that score! Try to make the grade requirements to be sure but very positive you will get many offers….
