BA (Hons) Media Practice - First Class HonoursUniversity of Sussex
- Brighton, United Kingdom
During my Media Practice (BA) degree course, I have participated in a wide array of different practices of media, using industry standard
equipment and software. I have developed a range of transferable skills in my practical and theoretical modules.
I specialised in photography, carrying out my own production for my final year project, which explored the
relationship between brutalist/post-modernist architecture in London and UK rap/grime music, through the theme of
symmetry. My degree has provided me with the confidence and skills to pursue a professional career in a variety of
creative industries, in particular photography and filmmaking. I graduated in summer 2017 with a first-class honours.
