“PCU is very different from my previous theory-based education. The programme has great practical project-based assignments and the lecturers are working professionals, so it opens up opportunities to make connections and get into the industry. I’ve even managed to secure internships with a local media organisation and an arts festival, which has allowed me to gain a lot of valuable knowledge and work experience.”
