Well, a lot of it depends upon how well you do at university, whether you do work experience and get involved etc as well. But it's not as if going to uni will guarantee you a job, it improves your chances in most fields but you still have to work for it.
We almost had a universal student paper, called the Student Leader... but it has ground a halt at the moment.
But I would probably make a travel on a budget style publication aimed at the student and backpacker market.
There are far far far too many apiring journalists in the world for my liking... I graduate at the end of the year, and getting a job is so damn competitive! So many people applying!
Changing from one UTS communications degree to another isn't something you can just do on e request, that is more for other faculties like business etc. Changing from writing to journalism is changing degree (each of the communications degrees has a separate course code and everything), and you...
What do you reckon it will be like in July? I'm stopping there for a few days on my way back from Europe, will the weather be horrible, does anyone know?
If you can use something like photoshop or paintshop pro you can create your own logos and stuff which you can put in to a simple template to make it look fairly stylish fairly simply.
For example, I know html and some css but I didn't want to spend ages doing a template from scratch. Both...
It's Building 3, Bon Marche. It's on the corner of Broadway and Harris St, just along the side of the tower. It's an old department store... there is a serious lack of natural light in there though.
Bringing your lunch isn't a bad idea it will save you heaps. There are microwaves on campus so you can even warm stuff up.
If you don't want to bring lunch, see the thread about cheap eats, it might be in the uni general forum. Chinatown has some reasonable cheap food etc but sushi is...
The people on the IT one always have a blast... dunno about the law one though, but seriously it is probably a good thing to get to know people and stuff.
I heard a rumour that pass/fail for first year was going and it would be graded from now on.... just a rumour though. But when I did first year it was pass/fail.
Yes, some of the first year subjects are a bit dull but things get much better in the second year. Plus some of them aren't too...
Even though people are being more selfish these days and it sucks, i don't think it would be right to tell these selfish people to start popping out babies... because otherwise we will just end up with generations of kids who haven't been cared for properly that will become a drain on the...
Well, I'm an oldie but yeah we may all run in to each other so.... Anyway, I'm Ashlee, I'm in my third year at UTS (BA Comm Journo) except I am currently overseas on exchange at the University of Westminster so I will be back at UTS for second semester in August.
I lived in Gumal for the...
You have to do some cultural studies in the degree, that is implied by the very name of the course. Use the online course handbook to see exactly what subjects you will be doing and what they will involve.
it truly doesn't surprise me, the vegetables here are crap and so is the fruit. You go to the supermarket and you literally have a choice of potatos, carrots, brocolli and swedes (which i hate! what do you eat swedes with?)... oh and cauliflower of course. The apples are so powdery and ick...
Don't have doubts, social inquiry is a good grounding for a journalism career still. Plus you can possibly do journalism subjects as electives and stuff and media studies and all that.
I had a friend that transferred in to law after first year, it's competitive but it is not impossible.
