What about your lecturers?Most of the lecturers working at theCentre are professional journalistswho also do research in their field,so they all have ties to the industry.They all really know what it’s like tobe a journalist.

What are your career plans?I definitely want to go into broadcastjournalism. When I first started,I wanted to write for newspapers,to be a print journalist but as Imoved on with the course, I knewthat I wanted to work in TV or radio.I would like to be a producer at anational TV station like the BBC,Channel 4 or ITV. I’d like to work at apolitical show like John Oliver’s LastWeek Tonight or Peston on Sunday,or a morning news show like GoodMorning Britain.

As I am really interested in TVjournalism, I applied for the BobFriend Scholarship which isexclusively for Journalism students.It is sponsored by Sky News andincludes a month’s work experiencethere. I was one of four finalistsin my second year and, althoughI didn’t win, it was an incredibleexperience to put together apitch and go to the Sky offices inWestminster for the final interview.

Any advice some somebodythinking of coming to Kent?I would say, don’t be scared. Goout of your way to talk to peopleand go for any opportunity thatcomes along. At the end of theday, that’s another huge part ofgoing to university; the friendsand connections you make.

Berni Botto is in thefinal year of her degreein Journalism

Why did you choose Kent?I actually visited quite a fewuniversities in the UK and out of allthe ones that I visited, Kent was themost professional one, the mostdedicated to journalism by far. Theprogramme is accredited by theNational Council for the Training ofJournalists (NCTJ) and you studyfor their Diploma in Journalismalongside your degree so, once yougraduate, you don’t have to spendanother year taking that qualification.

But what really drew me to thecourse is just how practical it is.You’re not just sitting in a lecturehall listening to someone speakfor two hours about how to producejournalism. You’re given a cameraand a few questions to go askpeople. So you go out there andyou learn by making journalism.

What are the facilities like foryour course?We have two state-of-the-artnewsrooms and each day startswith a news conference where wetalk about what’s in the news thatday and how you would cover iton TV etc. There are enough iMacsfor everyone to use and they arefully equipped with all the editingsoftware you need or could want.

We also have two radio studiosand a TV studio at the Centre plusaccess to the TV studios at KMTV.The facilities are honestly incredible.

What has been your favouritepart of the course?One of my favourite momentswas the first time that I filmed aTV package. We hadn’t studied TVjournalism yet, we were in our firstyear. A friend and I found out thatthere was a small Comic-Con inMaidstone, so we checked out acamera and learned how to useit on the go. We interviewed theorganiser of the Comic-Con, wespent all day there just having agood time. We gave the package toKMTV, the news station on campus,and they aired it, which was great.

Did you find the Centresupportive?They have an open-door policy atthe Centre for Journalism, so youcan always approach any of thestaff. They are all so supportive ifyou have any personal issues, orif you’re struggling. If you’ve got aproject and it’s due in a week, andyou don’t have an idea, you can justsit down and have a chat with them.The Centre really is like a family.

What are your fellow studentslike?Even though there’s only about 30of us, we are from across the globe:UK, Europe, Asia, USA, SouthAfrica. It makes things interesting,because people from othercountries might bring up newsstories that you would never havethought of. Also, you find differentperspectives on complex issues,such as politics and things like that.This is really great because you canbounce ideas off of each other, andjust have a chat about anything.

Harry Peet graduatedin 2017 with a degreein Journalism. He isnow a full-time TVreporter for KMTV.

Why study at Kent? At the time of applying, thejournalism course at the Universityof Kent was the highest-rated forthat subject. I was interested inlearning about a virtually brandnew topic to me and to experiencenew surroundings.

What did you enjoy most aboutthe course? I found the practical elements ofthe course especially interesting.I feel I'm quite creative so to get theopportunity to make newspapers/videos/radio shows by myself wasvery captivating.

What was the teaching like?The teaching at Kent was to a highstandard. I was able to contactlecturers and get guidance whenneeded. They kept each topic up-to-date and relevant with what’s goingon in the world as well, which is vitalfor a journalism course. They alsogave some creative licence in thepractical work, which was useful.

What did you do in your freetime at Kent?I had lots of fun in my time at Kentand made some great friends. Mywork and life balance was good andallowed me to play for the Universityfootball team while studying.

What careers advice or help didyou receive?As part of my course I wasoffered the opportunity to havean internship with KMTV, which isa regional TV news station for Kent.This helped me to develop the skillsthat I got from university and putthem into practice in a real-lifework environment.

What are you doing at themoment? I currently work full-time as a TVreporter for KMTV. My degree wasdirectly responsible for getting methis job. Without the skills I wastaught on the course and theaccess to the KMTV internship,I don’t believe I would have got afull-time job straight out of university.
