Media Photography graduate Stefan Klenke said: “Very often I realise how many useful things I've learned from the Photography degree. I've taken part in BBC Training courses where many of the things that were taught I already knew from the degree, which underlines how useful the course can be to prepare you for the “real” media world.” Studying a Media and Communications degree with us gives you access to the latest, industry-standard equipment, allowing you to work on live briefs set by external clients. We specialise in preparing you for professional careers both upon graduation and throughout life. Our track record for graduate employment is excellent, with the majority of graduates going into a media-related role. A high number of graduates have gone into producer/director roles, journalism, public relations, web development and freelance/own business.
