Student success – Desmond, from Nigeria
- Completed two-semester Foundation in Technology
- Graduated from BSc (Hons) Film Production Technology
“I liked everything about BCU! The lecturers were helpful, responsive and attentive – and they continued helping me even after graduation, with references for job applications. I got to use really cool facilities during my time at the University, like the industry-standard TV studios and editing suites. I created a documentary in my first year! Thanks to this experience, I felt ready for employment when I graduated, and I’ve since been working freelance on film projects.”

Important:
All students accessing the 3D workshops, plaster room, glass room, water-jet cutting room and the kiln room will need to wear safety footwear that has toe caps. Such footwear can be purchased from any safety footwear provider – including Sports Direct – and can be as cheap as £12. The shoes should be S1P and comply with EN 20345.
There is no long-term storage facility for personal items in the workshops, so students are advised to bring the safety footwear with them each day they are accessing the workshops.
