Students’ experiences

“I gained loads more confidence - in my work and my

personal life and a greater sense of independence!” Hayley Briggs

Television Researcher

Media Practice, 2009

“I do believe if it were not for receiving a degree from Sussex,

I probably wouldn't have been looked at for the position I

currently hold at ITV.” Annalisa Johnstone

Music Assistant, ITV
