Further Study
After I graduate from Hull School of Art and Design, there
are several possibilities that I am considering. One of these is to study
further and to do a Master’s Degree. For this, I have decided that if I were to
do so, I would look at studying in another country, as to get more experiences
of lifestyle and culture, as well as going to where the best option to study my
interest were. Canadian universities offer many courses that I am interested
in, and it is these that I am most likely to adopt as my institution should I
wish to study further.
The University of British Columbia offer an MJ Degree,
Masters of Journalism. It offers an intense course, including an internship
over a summer period which would be beneficial for work experience, and making
contacts. My concerns are the costing’s, as I do not have the funding to pay
for the course at present. It is also a small cohort, so I would need excellent
grades and some experience to gain entry to the degree. This is something I
would explore more, once I would receive my final grades for my BA Hons degree.
The university information can be found at the following web address: http://journalism.ubc.ca/about/masterofjournalismdegree/
The other possibility I am looking at in Canada is studying
a Master of Arts in Journalism at Western Ontario University. This is a yearlong
programme that is intense and also offers external experience and work within
the industry. This is available at:

I have sourced the possible locations for journalism study
from the following website: http://http-server.carleton.ca/~mmcguire/J-Ed/j-prog/u-programs.shtml
All of the possibilities depend on my financial situation,
support and aid I may be entitled to, and my location and preference, as well
as the grades that I receive. As I plan to explore and travel Canada in the
first instance, it may become more apparent which university I either favour,
or am better equipped to apply for.
Further study is something I am really excited and ambitious
about, and I would wish to commence study within the first two years of
completing my BA Hons Interactive Media Degree.
