A lovely experience from the start to the endBrunel University

ratingOverall experience

I came to Brunel University in 2004 with 3 A Levels in Graphic Design, Media Studies and ICT gained from Stanmore Sixth Form College. The reason I chose the Brunel Multimedia Technology and Design degree was because it encompasses a wide range of multimedia and digital aspects, including everything from graphic design using Photoshop and Illustrator, website using HTML and Dreamweaver, animation using Flash and 3D Studio Max, video and sound using Adobe After Effects and other editing software, photography and the list goes on! In sum, I chose the Brunel Multimedia degree because the course was not just about graphic design but how it is applied to a range of media like web design, animation, video, 3D and so on. This really appealed to me as it encourages creativity and allows your imagination to come to life during the duration of the course. I liked the fact that the course was not just based on art and sketch books but involved designing digitally using a range of software to include PhotoShop and Illustrator. I can definitely say that choosing the Multimedia Design and Technology course at Brunel has been a pleasurable experience from the start to the end!

One reason I chose Brunel was when visiting on UCAS Open Day I was extremely pleased with the multimedia facilities available and the work displayed. The staff and students were friendly and helpful. The location is ideal being near to the airport, shopping centre and transport e.g. bus and train station, with easy access to London. All these elements encouraged my final decision in choosing the correct university. Studying at Brunel has been a lovely experience from the start to the end! The lecturers were inspiring, helpful and approachable, complimented by a good sense of humour. The lab facilities were great with the latest software and a range of equipment which was available to rent out at our needs. This course has taught me everything I ever wanted to know about Multimedia from effective graphic and web design to how 3D animation works. I used all the elements I had learnt from the course in my final year project titled “Mauritius an Island of many colours”. This was an internet-based promotional tool for Mauritius introducing my branding strategy in the form of various multimedia features. It was a website that aimed not only to promote the island, communicating its culture and natural beauty, but also to help both tourists and businesses in Mauritius. The website was interactive, branding the island and incorporating this in to an interactive media experience. The project utilised my taught skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver and editing software.

Brunel's campus fulfils the needs of a student with a huge library, shopping facilities for your daily needs, a pharmacy, cash machines, a cafe, clubs and bars. The campus has a nice natural environment which is lovely to take a walk when you need a break from assignments and studying. Brunel is in an ideal location being walking distance to a shopping distance, close to the airport and easy access to London.

ratingOportunidades de trabalho

I enrolled on a 4 year thick sandwich course, where on my third year I did a work placement at Yell.com and was employed as a graphic designer, producing adverts for the well-known Yellow Pages. This was my first job in my career field of being a designer and my most memorable one to date. Brunel supported me from finding my work placement and also arranging a visiting tutor to see how I was getting on. This work placement helped me boost my confidence in working for a well known company as big as Yell.com, in such a large, office environment. I learnt many valuable skills including team work and how a huge organization functions. During the Final Year Project exhibition (MADE IN BRUNEL) I was approached by a web design company called Webexpectations.com, in which I specifically sought a temporary 6-week contract with them to gain more industrial experience and after that I was to consider full-time employment with them. I would definitely recommend all students doing a work placement as not only is it a break from studying and allows you to earn money, but also gives a chance to work in your chosen field and increases your job prospects after graduating.
