Student review [#61553]
for Journalism
at London South Bank University - LSBU
London, The United Kingdom
Overall, I can say that my experience at London South Bank University was great.
The campus in Elephant & Castle is situated in the center of London, close to everything. As a journalism graduate, it was the perfect environment to carry out my assignments.
The lecturers were also great and very supportive. I liked that they treated us as real professionals while still giving us the space to learn and make mistakes.
Moreover, the facilities are amazing. In my course, we had access to a newsroom with screens, laptops, cameras, tripods, and basically everything you need as a journalist. The new library was also nice, I spent a lot of time there, it felt like a safe space to me. However, some computers were often out of order.
What I liked the most was the hands-on approach of the course, we rarely just sat listening to a lecture for the whole day. Most of the time, we were given true responsibilities by having to create our own TV and radio show. We were mostly out in the city recording and reporting.
The only things I didn’t like were, first, the schedule, I wish we had more classes sometimes.
In three years, we also had several different course directors, which was quite unsettling.
