I’m still not 100% sure what I want to do when I graduate. I think I would enjoy a job in PR and my dream job would be to work in social media marketing for a book publisher. I’m hoping my master’s degree in communications will help me in the future as it has broadened my knowledge on the way in which social media can be used in political advertising. The skills learned on this course are applicable to a range of different jobs.

I would say that if they have a real interest in the political advertising, how it works and the criticisms surrounding it, this would be the perfect course. As for advice I would tell them to ensure they are 100% committed to the course and interested in the content because the workload is challenging and intense. If they have a passion for the topic and are hardworking then this masters is a great option. The social atmosphere on campus is my favourite aspect of the uni. Before the pandemic I loved going to watch all the sports events being held almost daily. I was a member of the equestrian club so I was able to go riding during the week which was a great break from the stress of studying. Joining clubs and societies was a great way to meet people and make friends as they hold a lot of social events. The nightlife is good fun too.
