Recently students from the National Diploma in Interactive Media (Multimedia) at Newry Campus, Southern Regional College had the opportunity to go to UTV, Belfast.

The visit organised by John McEvoy a tutor on the course, was inspirational and fun packed event for the students. The students had a tour of the building to see the Radio studios, Newsroom, Sound Department and Internet Department. Students were fascinated to see how the Greenscreen works for television and they had live demonstrations of Software such as Avid.

To add to the enjoyment of the experience Pamela Ballantine personally gave them a tour of all the departments. They also had an opportunity to see Frank Mitchell from an on-looking studio presenting on Live UTV Radio. Each student received UTV souvenirs and memorabilia to take away with them.

It was a fantastic educational experience for the students to see some real industrial practice within Northern Ireland.
