A love for crafting narratives and a desire to amplify marginalised voices fuelled Maleeha Iqbal’s journey into journalism. “It’s always been my passion.” she explains. “I love telling the stories of those who don’t have a platform in mainstream media.”
Peterborough College’s Media and Journalism course initially provided Maleeha with the drive to enter this industry, and having the same lecturers at University Centre Peterborough meant she felt familiar with her surroundings.
“I knew the lecturers well, and their teaching was fantastic,” she recalls. “The smaller class sizes and interactive learning at UCP were ideal for this course.”
