The curriculum incorporates both practical and digital skills to produce the hybrid artists in demand in the film and leisure industries and has never been offered as a taught learning path before; we’re thrilled to be involved in spearheading the teaching of this highly contemporary skill set.

Neill Gorton will be involved in the teaching of this himself along with the university’s excellent existing staff and some industry colleagues, and we now need a dynamic lecturer to complete the team.
