Comment: I like Brighton as a place and wonder if this would suit me more as a place.. and the course sounds
industry based which I like – I also have family locally

I wonder if I might be better living out, in a flat maybe

I think student life in a big block might not suit me as well although I’m sociable I think lots of students might irritate
me

Course structure
The syllabus of this degree is based on the material of the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism, which covers five main areas:
essential public affairs
essential media law
reporting
shorthand
portfolio development.
On top of these core elements, you learn skills in digital and multimedia journalism, which are becoming increasingly
central to industry practice. You also take a work placement in the final year so you can experience a professional
journalistic environment.

Comment; the idea of being a sports journalist is an attractive one to me… the course does seem to have a lot of
placements and practical experience but I’m not sure its quite what I want
Sli suspicious of Eastbourne ? quite a way from Brighton !
