As university courses go it may raise a few eyebrows, but Destiny McGowan has no doubt that hers was very useful.
In July the 21-year-old graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in content creation.
As well as teaching how to best make videos and posts for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, the course also focused on how to build audiences, engage with brands and monetise your content.
"I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, so for me the course was about the transferable skills that I believed I would gain," says Destiny, pointing to both the social media and business aspects she was taught.
It's early on in her career, and Destiny refuses to disclose precisely what she is earning, but says she's already making money.
