Here are some words from their website which gives you an idea of just how good this place is:

"Undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the Media School has been assessed as 'excellent' by the Quality Assurance Agency and its research in the area of computer animations has been rated 5 in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise. Currently the school has around 1,850 undergraduate and 250 postgraduate students.

The Media School is the UK's only Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (as designated by Higher Education Funding Council for England) and is also an accredited Skillset Media Academy. These endorsements firmly establish the School as a major education centre for the media industries."

Another thing that makes the Media School so good is that many of the people you would be taught by are industry professionals, many of whom are still actively working in the media industry. This is a real bonus for students as it can open up opportunities for work.

The work that students produce is varied and of a high standard. Check out their student showcase website to get a taste of the kind of work you could produce.
