It is also possible to negotiate direct entry onto BA Hons Media and Communications at the same university. Former students now work in a range of media careers including advertising, journalism, marketing and PR. For many students the course has proven to be a journey of self-discovery leading to different career choices including fundraising, events management and teaching. A number of former students are now published authors and the work of one former student has been studied on the present course for the last five years. Some career paths have been very unique, including that of Gavin Griffiths, the UK's only full-time professional Diathlete.
