The School of Media, Arts and Design

Formed as Britain's first polytechnic in 1838, the University of Westminster has a strong tradition of combining the needs of industry with its academic curriculum. The School of Media, Arts and Design offers good examples of the university's success in preparing students for practical careers.

Graduates from the School include Michael Jackson - former Chief Executive of Channel 4, chart diva Karen Ramirez, and John Woodward, Chief Executive of the UK's Film Council.

Some 65% of the School's graduates go directly into jobs in arts or media-related organisations. Two recent graduates remixed a Madonna single. Others are working freelance or on short-term contracts in:

Film
Photography
Multimedia
Graphic Information Design
Journalism
Broadcasting
Fine Art
Animation
Ceramics

"We are seeing a break down of the traditional barriers between academic degree courses and hands-on skills in the creative disciplines. We want to be in the lead in offering the most pragmatic and high-quality learning for our students."

Aaron Kay, Computing Officer, The University of Westminster
