Career In Media

Media is a highly popular (and therefore competitive) field, so the experience is critical. You'll need to be motivated and persistent in your applications.

To gain work experience and build up a portfolio of work, contact radio, television, newspaper, PR, or advertising agencies (whichever match your career preferences) and ask about opportunities. Look out for summer placements, part-time and voluntary opportunities while on your course during the summer holidays or evenings and weekends. It may also be useful to get involved with your university radio station, paper, or publications office.

Some courses offer the opportunity to undertake a work placement with a media or related company. This provides an excellent opportunity to develop practical and professional skills and to make industry contacts.

This webinar will give you rich insights on the possible career options available in Media and how to take this interest forward.
