Hello I'm Gemma and I am in my first year at Southampton Solent University studying BA (Hons) Sports Journalism.
In the future I would love to be working in the press box for my favourite teams and the fact that I can get paid for it excites me so much!
My start to uni life has been a bit different than normal as I came with a broken knee but have settled in very well and met some of the best people :)
I would love to share my experience with any new starters and give some advice to help with your journey!!

Spencer
Southampton Solent University
BA (Hons) Television Production
Hi, I'm Spencer, a third-year BA (Hons) Television Production student. My favourite module so far is Studio Production and for this reason, when I graduate, I would like to work in live television. This year I had the opportunity to work at Camp Bestival, Dorset as a Graphics Operator which was a really rewarding experience.
When I'm not studying, I'm busy working backstage at the local theatre as a technician on all of the big shows that come through on tour. In my spare time, I attend swim training with the CSSC Masters to keep up my exercise.
Feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have - I'm happy to help!
