“I think it’s the fact of being able to progress your creativity and be able to work on very new ideas – so whether if you’re going to do like a music video, a documentary, a short film, those sort of like projects where you just get something new, something you haven’t even done before, um it helps to expand your mind into something completely different and work into something that’s not the same thing as you’ve done before.”
Scott, Creative Media
“You get so much experience, like you’re not just doing one side of journalism you’re doing all different things – so one day you’ll be doing some magazines and then the next you’ll be filming in the TV studio so it’s just great to get to experience all kinds of journalism so then you get to decide which part you want to go into.”
Alannah, Creative Media
“The course has helped me develop – I’ve been more social towards my team and other people. And it’s helped me develop my comms with more competitive gameplay. People in the course are very supportive of you and in the games they are helpful, give you comms and all that.”

“Playing tournaments, for me, I think it helps me develop skills because mainly I don’t play tournament-based games, and in tournaments there’s very skilled players playing. So if I end up going against a really skilled player and lose, I can still learn from how they’ve played and try again. Support with everyone is great, we all get along, we’re all nice to each other and we all help whenever we can, and same with the tutors – they support us the best with how they are.”
Kai, eSports
“If you’re somebody who likes art we’ve got concept art courses here. Also if you like audio we’ve got a lesson about that. It branches off, things like other different careers you can do with this class. It’s not exam based so you don’t have to worry about revising a lot, it’s coursework based so you finish some of the product portfolio, hand it in throughout the course.”
