Experts are taught by experts who have all worked in their respective industries and benefit from industry feedback from industry leaders. They get to deliver live industry briefs and attend industry workshops led by some of the world's most reputable organizations. We work with industry giants from Unilever, L'Oreal, WPP, and IBM, to Framestore, Double Negative, MPC, and The Mill, and that is what sets us apart. When you combine higher education and industry, everyone benefits. Especially when there's a need for graduates to stand out from the crowd in a competitive market, industry engagement drives us. It is not just what we do; it is who we are. And it is what will take us, and our students, into the future.
