Time is precious so it is paramount that you utilise it the right way.

Make Connections

University allows you to come into contact with a variety of different people who may have connections to people in the industries that you need experience in. Be nice to everyone because you never know when you’re going to need somebody’s help.

Use Resources

Universities provide plenty of resources, for a photographer it might be a studio and for someone interested in radio it could be a radio station. Be curious and find out the resources that your university has to offer and utilise them. You are only there for a short time and as a student, most of the resources are free to you.

Join Platforms

Depending on what you are interested in there are plenty of student led platforms that are always looking for new talent and contributions to their platform in order to aid growth. This will look good on your CV and will also allow you to create a portfolio of work for yourself which you can then showcase and say you have experience.
