Take some time over the summer before your course starts and do some research into the industry you're training to become part of. Find out as much information you can regarding your chosen career path, from where you start to where you could go. Use the information below as a starting point and see what else you can find out. 

Who inspires you and where you do you want to go? Do you want to work for yourself or get a job working for a creative company? Collate all your research using one of the platforms you're going to be working on or in your preferred format — we may even ask you to share it with us when you start your course. 

There are many stands to the media and you will be able to try out and practice several during your course. You will make a radio programme, make a music video, explore Social Media and come to an understanding of how all of this works.
