Entry to JMS4

There are limited spaces available in fourth year, so simply passing JMS 3 does not guarantee you a place. We are looking for students who perform well in both their media studies and practical specialisation, and students who achieve below 60% for either their final JMS 3 practical or media studies mark will severely jeopardise their chances of advancing into JMS 4.

Please note:
  • When applying for JMS 4 you must provide a letter of motivation, an official academic transcript, and in some cases portfolios of work and references. Specialisation lecturers may interview candidates.
  • Students are not eligible to apply for entry into JMS 4 if they have not completed JMS 3 and their other major.
  • If you are carrying credits other than those of your second major, you may apply for JMS 4, but this might jeopardise your chances of acceptance. You may carry up to a maximum of one minor credit into JMS 4.
  • All acceptances are provisional until approved by JMS 4 board and the Dean of Humanities.
