The Postgrad Pod

In the final episode of this season of The Postgrad Pod, I talk to Amy about our shared experience of going from an undergraduate degree at the University of York to deciding to study a Journalism Masters at the University of Sheffield. How she got into journalism and what advice she has for people wanting to go into journalism in the future.

In our penultimate postgrad interview, Lottie talks about deciding to study a Publishing MA in London, and the different parts of the process from manuscript to finished product.

This week we have another two-part series, this time we talk to Natasha about what it's like to do a Masters abroad, adjusting to Swedish weather and the importance of the Google Translate scanning function.

For the second half of our focus on apprenticeships we talk to Lizzy about getting an apprenticeship scheme after university, how long the application process can take and what it's like to learn on the job.

In this week's episode I chat with Colin about the PhD application process, what motivates people to stay in higher education, and why one theatre in Kingston makes for a good graduation location.
