[cma-l] Universities offering Year long internships in Media/Radio production

Wed Dec 9 15:42:21 GMT 2015

Ian (and all) - I think you are arguing against media and radio courses generally, rather than the year long placements?

Having experienced two sides of this (the benefits of Huddersfield students whilst at Future, and working in a University setting here in Luton), I think there's value to both.

I would like to say, not everyone studies a course at uni that directly translates to their job. I studied Economics and Politics. I ended up working in radio. I don't regret choosing my course - but it would be true to say that I didn't leave Uni knowing all there is to know about Economics or indeed Politics. It did teach me many other skills.

Those students I teach and work with here - many work in media-industries afterwards (or even during!). Some take the skills they have learnt to achieve other things. Here's a couple of examples of recent proof:

Daniele - unfortunately our radio students don't get to do year long placements.

I wonder at the value of such courses.
The question that worries me is - how good and up-to-date are the people who are instructing?
It's the old adage I'm afraid that those who can - do - and those who can't - teach!
I can see a student spending a lot of time and money on a course - and coming away with knowledge and information that's of very little practical use in a career in real down-to-earth gritty broadcasting>
Please - show me I'm wrong?

Hello,

Do you know of Universities courses, media, radio or music technologies, which as part of their courses, ask student to find year long placements in Radio?

So far I have only come across the University of Huddersfield, but if you know of any other courses and course leader please let me know.

Best,

Daniele Fisichella
