What type of content can I create?
As current students, you have the best insight into postgraduate life, and we encourage you to pitch your own ideas. These can include short-form videos (such as Instagram Reels and TikToks), longer-form videos (YouTube) and written blogs.
Alongside your ideas, the University's Postgraduate Marketing team will share content suggestions through briefs.
