Our Students and Graduates

Many of our students have gone on to a range of jobs, including work in television, radio, advertising, teaching, and the voluntary sector, while others have decided to pursue postgraduate study.

You can see what students on our media programmes get up to by watching our Media Centre Video. But don't just listen to us, hear it from our award-winning students...

Kathryn Row, 24

Communications Officer, BA (Hons) Film and Media Studies
"I work for a registered charity in Newcastle upon Tyne. I wouldn't have got this job without my degree: it provided me with all the skills that I use in this work. I totally loved my time at university and really miss it now. I'm really glad that I chose an interdisciplinary degree as it has given me the wide range of abilities I need to be an events organiser and fundraiser, to write press releases, organise the website and to liaise with the local media."

James Longman, 27

Producer - ITV X-Factor
BA (Hons) Media Studies
"The whole university experience was really enjoyable. I loved the city and I had a wonderful time there. I still keep in touch with a lot of friends and we meet up fairly regularly. I've now got a great new job as a producer on the X-Factor and my career has gone from strength to strength."
