Post 9: Changing the Study Programme

Thinking about this, I feel like there’s not that much that I would like to change about studying journalism here, but the things that I would like to change are really important, especially for our future.

One of the biggest issues that we have as students here in ICEI, is the lack of equipment for our television and audio visual courses in general. We only have 3 cameras that have to be use and share with around 150 students, I know that sounds crazy but is our reality. So I thinks that would be one of the biggest and more important changes that I would do.

Other thing that I would change if I could is the basis of the career, I like that we learn about really different topics so our chances in the future are higher, but we have so much theoretical courses for 5 years of career. I would reinforce the practical part instead of teaching that much about theory.

With the new curriculum mesh we only have one practice at the end of our career, for me that’s unfair in many ways. I think it should be optional to do more than one practice, even when only one would be considered as official. But with our career the best way to learn is with practice, especially in the real world, so they should give us the chance to do it in a more formal and regular way.

For me, this are the changes that ICEI and journalism career need urgently, so everyone would have a better basis before jumping into the real world.

See you around!!!
