How to kick-start your career whilst still at university: the secrets of a student portfolio 📱📝

Today’s IT sector requires not only knowledge of coding, but also the ability to communicate ideas effectively, engage with an audience and work with written content.
Social media management and copywriting skills are a huge asset for any professional.

Here are a few tips for our students (and future first-year students) on how to start building your portfolio right now:

1️⃣ Keep your academic projects:
Your coursework on data analysis or content plans created during group projects are real-world case studies.

2️⃣ Present your results visually:
Use user-friendly platforms (Notion, Behance or even a well-designed PDF) to showcase your thought process.

3️⃣ Write about what you’re studying:
Running a professional blog or page about your progress in linguistics and coding is already a great addition to your CV.

In our practical sessions, we always focus on how your knowledge applies to real-world digital marketing and communications.
