Supercuriculars for media

Hi im currently looking at writing my personal statement for media and dont have many ideas for supercuriculars as there arent many good books that cover media. Is there anyone who has written a media personal statement, especially for russel groups and what supercuriculars did you use?

Hi!

You don't necessarily have to only talk about books you have read in your personal statement. For something like media, maybe discussing different types of content you have engaged with might be useful, including podcasts, documentaries etc. and how they have helped hone your knowledge and passion. Discuss how they relate to the course, and what you have taken from them. If you have ever produced, or created an form of media yourself, be it social media or a short film, maybe include this too! It all counts as extra-curricular, highlighting your passion for the subject and how you have been developing your skills outside of the classroom.

I hope this helps.
