I provide support and assistance to one refugee mentee to build a positive connection with them and motivate them to pursue personal development. I also help my mentees to improve their sense of self-worth and value the contribution they make to society.

An understanding of security involves studying not only what makes us feel secure, but also what we regard as threatening. This course offered the opportunity for in-depth study and analysis of the current international environment with the terrorism and conflicts worldwide. I explored key issues in contemporary international security, including international intervention, conventional and nuclear deterrence, insurgency and counter-insurgency, peacemaking, and peacekeeping. I also explored the link between Media and terrorism. In addition, I developed my understanding of counter-terrorist techniques with an in-depth study of security issues in particular regions of the world. I took part in the field trip to Berlin on April 2018, I had the opportunity to visit the Reichstag, the home of the German Parliament and the Bundestag in which we discussed with German academics and politicians global issues and ways of countering terrorism.

To understand modern politics, we must understand the role played by media. On this course I had the opportunity to explore and reflect upon how media and politics are linked. I also developed the skills required for a world where media and public communication are crucial to many fields of employment. I was provided with the tools to understand and research the relationship between the political world and the many forms of contemporary media. I studied in detail how multi-dimensional, modern media are changing politics, but also how political, social and economic interests can shape the media industries and the practices of journalists and other commentators.

This year gave me an academic insight into the world of Media and Journalism. On this course, I developed a wide range of skills in communications, media and cultural analysis in the context of the creative industries. It enabled me to graduate with skills that are highly relevant to a range of media-based careers. I gained a professionally-focused understanding of media and society, developing a portfolio of practical skills in both visual and written work including advertising, public relations and journalism. I learned how to use media technologies to communicate in a variety of styles and formats, including pitches, briefings, video projects and podcasts.
