Placements

Students who get work experience tend to graduate with better degrees and are better prepared for entering the commercial sector. Experience also hones your skills, industry knowledge and professionalism through networking, making you a sought after graduate.

While we provide no formal placements for our students, many find placement work through our industry contacts. Placements within the last year have included studios such as A-Productions, Sun and Moon, WONKY, Aardman Animations and Rumpus.

We are fortunate enough to be located near a range of production companies that are always on the lookout for new and emerging talent. Informal work-based placements and networking often results in paid work and longer-term employment.

Get help to find your placements and support throughout from department staff and our award-winning careers service.
