“ The Herald's partnership with City College Plymouth is critical as it helps students get more than ever out of their media courses. This partnership approach provides students with a real insight into the cut and thrust world of journalism, through
seminars and work placement opportunities, and helps prepare them for the real world of work from the moment they start their course”
