The Department of Media Studies and Journalism (MSJ) at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB), in collaboration with education consultancy MACES, hosted a seminar on postgraduate study opportunities in the United Kingdom at the university on Wednesday.
Titled “Explore Postgraduate Study Options in Media Studies and Journalism at Prestigious UK Universities,” the seminar aimed to connect students and alumni with British academic institutions.
Representatives from 3 UK universities led interactive sessions: Tim Anderson, senior international recruitment officer at City St George’s, University of London; Isobel Hussey, senior international officer at the University of Sussex; and David Evans, regional manager at Cardiff University.
They briefed attendees on admission pathways, academic requirements, scholarship opportunities and the cultural experience of pursuing media degrees in the UK.
ULAB Vice-Chancellor Professor Shamsad Mortuza said the university was committed to providing students with greater global exposure.
“Collaborations like this seminar are instrumental in providing our students with the pathways they need to excel on the international stage. We want our graduates to not just participate in the global media discourse, but to lead it,” he said.
Attendees said direct interactions with university representatives helped clarify the application process.
Raisa Islam, a final-year MSJ student, said the session clarified specific scholarship opportunities, making the prospect of studying abroad a more achievable goal.
The event concluded with personalized question-and-answer sessions, providing aspiring media professionals with information on pursuing postgraduate studies abroad.
