2:1 BA (HONS) Film and MediaOxford Brookes University
- Oxford, United Kingdom
I’ve always thought a degree in film and music to be one of the steps I could actively take to achieve a career in the entertainment industry, broadening my knowledge, skills and develop my experiences and repertoire. Through this course I’ve had experiences such as attending the full 2015 and 2017 Cannes Film Festival. In June I completed my BA Hons degree at Oxford Brookes University with a 2.1, majoring in Film with a minor in Music.
