Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and hopefully in the right place to ask a few questions.
I am italian, 28, male, moving back to UK this coming spring.
I work both as a freelance journalist and as a private italian language instructor.
I said "moving back" because I have already resided in the UK (London) for around a year from Sept 2000 to Sept 2001. In London I achieved a BTEC Foundation Diploma in Media Studies at the former LondonCollege of Printing (nowadays LondonCollege ofCommunication).
7 years later, after some valuable experience working abroad (Moscow), a BA in my hands (Media and Journalism, university of Florence), I am firmly intended to re-enter the world of british education for a short period of time.
And this is my problem. I know enough about universities in London and their reputation, I know nothing with regard to private institutions offering short intensive courses. The fields I am interested in are the following marketing/pr/communication/journalism. The ideal would be a 1-3months course offering a sort of professional training which can somehow initiate me to the above mentioned working areas. A summer school would be great too.
I do not want to do a MA because I do not want to study for another year.
Any suggestion/link?
May I also ask you if you have ever heard of the LondonSchool of Journalism? sorry cant post the link...
Thanks a lot, if you have any question about Moscow or Italy pls just drop them and I will be happy to share any info I may have
Regards
Alessio (Florence)
