- There are four one-year full-time taught Masters programmes (some with part-time equivalents over two years), and four three-year undergraduate programmes.
- The MA Electronic Arts is particularly unusual: it is a customisable research-based Masters programme, which can be work-based.

Success for graduates of MA Design for Interactive Media
[May 2006]
Illumina Digital have won another BAFTA, this time a special Judges’ Award for Interactive Innovation at the TV craft awards.
Three key Illumina staff are graduates of the MA Design for Interactive Media: Nicola Wells, Andres Rojas and Davie McGirr, Illumina's Creative Director.
The Illumina team won three BAFTA Interactive Awards last year (2005).
From the Illumina press release:
Integrated media company Illumina Digital has won a special Judges’ Award for Interactive Innovation at the prestigious British Academy Television Craft Awards for a project that enables viewers to create their own video postcards using footage from the BBC Archive.
The Illumina team shared the honour with the BBC Creative Archive team at the award ceremony on Friday 19 May 2006.
The Open Earth Archive was an online development to accompany the flagship BBC documentary series Planet Earth which recently aired on BBC One and will return in the autumn. Unaired rushes from Planet Earth, footage from ground-breaking series such as The Natural World and extracts from series narrated by David Attenborough sat alongside remarkable images and audio clips on bbc.co.uk/openeartharchive.
The BAFTA judges singled out two innovative features of the website for special commendation: the Easy Edit online video editing suite created by Illumina Digital, and the BBC Creative Archive licence which allowed users to create their own short video. Easy Edit is powered by Illumina’s eSEQ online editing application that enables users to create and edit their own video online and to send a video postcard to friends or family.

Praise and success for MA Video
[29 September 2005]
Lucius Yeo, who completed the MA Video at the end of August 2005, had a film he made with Belen Bueso Alberdi, called ‘Man from UNKLE’, accepted in 2005's Raindance Festival. It was one of the documentary shorts screened on 9 October at Cineworld, Shaftesbury Avenue, London.
Asad Syed, who also completed the programme this year, recently wrote:
Dear Maureen and David, I do feel a need to send my gratitude for the wonderful experience I had for the last one year. This one-year will always remain the most special year of my life. When I first started the course, I was unsure, unconfident and uncertain about my field. But now after spending a year under yours and David’s supervision, I find myself very confident as a future filmmaker. From the very first class till the last, I gained valuable information from two-genius expertise who believed in their scholars. Never before have I had tutors who welcome all sort of questions from the students and never get annoyed by them. This one year will always remain the most special to me and to my fellow classmates and i hope we all will make you proud. Sincerely yours, |
