Last Friday, our BA (Hons) Broadcast Journalism students took part in Mock Interviews and an Assessment Day designed to mirror the realities of the industry.

Students were interviewed by leading professionals including:

⭐ Martin Slack — Editor, BBC Radio Nottingham
⭐ Claire Catlow — Senior Content Editor, Cartwright Communications
⭐ Owen Bradley — Lead Presenter, RamsTV
⭐ Jamie Slack — Digital Marketing Manager
⭐ Arti Lukha — Managing Editor, ITN (joining us online)

Alongside interviews, students also completed a group assessment challenge — building a structure from newspapers and tape that was strong enough to support a tennis ball, while fitting within strict limits.

The task encouraged teamwork, self-awareness, communication, and the ability to give and receive constructive feedback — all essential skills for a career in broadcast journalism.

A huge thank you to our industry guests for sharing their time and expertise 👏
