Is City Universitys periodical journalism course my best option?
That, from a final year student at Glasgow University, is a not untypical request for information about the options for postgraduate journalism studies. The questioner had heard that the course is good, but asked – is it all it is cracked up to be? Fleet Street’s fairest responded: James: ‘I’m in the same position as you at Lancaster University. From what I’ve heard it’s the Oxbridge of colleges that do journalism, I’m applying myself for the print one. I do know, however, that it’s a hell of an effort to get in. Sun editor David Yelland got turned away in the eighties. I know a few people who graduated from the postgrad this year. Apparently a lot of them went on to the Express and Evening Standard, but they were doing the print journalism. Cardiff and Central Lancashire have got good reputations too, but I’d steer clear of Preston as it’s a bit of a dive. Wendy: I’m not familiar with City’s courses, but I’ve met a few of the key people at the department there and been very impressed.
