We're delighted to welcome BBC's Question Time to Birmingham City University, which will take place here in the Parkside Building, which is home to the School of Media and has the most amazing state of the art industry facilities. We're delighted to have Question Time here. It's brilliant to have BBC here and to be showcasing BCU and all our brilliant facilities and most of all our wonderful students who and it's absolutely fantastic that a number of them are volunteering on the production and they're going to get stuck in, they're going to be running, they're going to be showing the audience to their seats.

They're going to be doing all sorts of things. It will be a fantastic learning experience for them. I'm looking forward to working with Question Time, so I'll be chipping in and helping out, doing just a little bit of everything. I feel like this is going to be beneficial to me for my studies because it gives me a great insight into how the BBC are going to operate during the production and it enables me to possibly make links within the industry that might eventually allow me a job.

I think it's really, really important to take all these kind of opportunities, especially for something like media where who, you know, and like networking is such an important part of it. I think experiences like these are really important because recently for my last semester, I actually did a lot of client based projects. And I think by working in professional environments throughout uni it helps because it helps build you up before you leave.

So by the time that you're finished with your studies, you've got all the work that you've done in line, but then you've also got the knowledge of working with professionals. So it helps you to sort of build yourself professionally before you end up in the industry.
