One year, three placements
BA (Hons) Communications and Media student Marcus Reay has just completed his placement year, where he had the opportunity to work with 3 different organisations. He shares his story…
“I have finished my placement year with a new-found enjoyment and passion for my course and the media industry.”
I got off to a rocky start with my placement year. A long and aggravating second year at university left me burnt out from education after going at it non-stop. I felt deflated about my future in the media industry. I could not, for the life of me, find anything that I was passionate about. On top of that, employers just didn’t seem interested in me. I felt like all hope was lost until as luck would have it, I stumbled upon 3 work experience opportunities. They all offered me new and exciting paths that would benefit me for the year to come, as well as my outlook on the media industry in general.
