My degree has helped me to hone capabilities relevant to my career. I have developed strong research and analytical skills, as well as a clear understanding of how media messages are created and how audiences respond to them.
I’ve learned how to construct narratives and tell engaging stories, drawing out the all-important crux that underpins the key message. My studies also ingrained in me the importance of context in framing my ideas.
Being exposed to so many viewpoints on global issues has opened my eyes to how different and yet how similar people from various backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures are. These insights are essential not only in my chosen field but also in my personal growth.
So, my degree has been about more than simply supporting my future career. It has given me the opportunity to develop my natural curiosity.
