Student review [#6205] for Digital Journalism
at Goldsmiths University of London - Gold

I am currently enrolled as a MA Digital Journalism Student and will share my opinion as a part-time one. Firstly, I went there in order to attend an Open Day event – I was extremely impressed by the size of the University, plus organization, equipment and cleanliness. Staff is always helpful and friendly, which is a major plus. Location is also very good, as New Cross (South East London) is easily accessible from Central London. My course per se is a mix of traditional Journalism practices and brand new ones, like Data Visualization and Social Media elements – for someone who is looking for a brand new context of the field, I find my programme extremely interesting and unusually good. Comparing to options back in my native Brazil, for example, Goldsmiths seems to be much more forward when it comes to Communications. My lecturers are all very experienced and currently active, always available through classes and office hours during the week. Even though Goldsmiths took part in a nationwide dispute over pensions recently, all academic representatives and Student Union were always keeping us posted through major meetings and weekly updates. Education is taken very seriously over there and I absolutely love my experience so far – I just wish I had the chance to study full-time. I still have a lot to experience, but I can already say that I highly recommend Goldsmiths if you are eager to learn and develop your intellectual skills in London.
