Loved the placement and opportunities

Learning Experience: The couThe course content was good and included topics like print, broadcast, digital, photojournalism etc. The learning experience was enhanced by a mix offering of lecturers and practical workshops. The faculties and staff are really good maybe the placement would have improved more and bit more streesed on important topics.
