An information day for people interested in a career in the media is set to take place next month.

The successful event at Queens University, Belfast, is now entering its third year.

The event is organised through a partnership of leading media companies in collaboration with the university's careers service and careers staff from the University of Ulster.

The day is open to anyone over the age of 16 interested in pursuing a career in radio, TV, film and the press in any form.

The event, on Wednesday November 9, consists of a large exhibition, information sessions and interactive demonstrations. It aims to encourage and inspire the future talent of the creative industries.

In addition to the exhibition a full programme of information sessions will be running throughout the day. Visitors will also be given the chance to pose questions to celebrities and top professionals.

Proposed topics for the sessions include "So you want to be a Presenter?" "Getting into animation", "Being a researcher" and many more.

There will also be hands-on demonstrations where visitors will be given the chance to try their hand at editing and reading from an autocue.

Tickets are available from the Belfast Box Office: www.belfastfestival.com priced at £4. A limited number of tickets will also be available on the door priced at £5.
