You will use your expertise in filming and editing to create video and audio for a range of social media platforms. Your experience of project management will enable you to plan this content, and evaluate success against agreed metrics, and share this information around the University, using it to inform future campaigns.

The communications department is a collaborative, creative and inclusive team who understand the role of communications in championing the transformative power of creative education. We speak on behalf of the creative industries across all platforms and cultivate relationships with some of the country’s leading experts and opinion formers. 

The communications team has a vital role to play. We want to bring high quality education to more students than ever before and give our students the education they need to flourish in a changing world.

Your understanding of the needs of different audiences sets you apart. You will have managed and monitored social media accounts but also collaborated with stakeholders, unearthing captivating stories waiting to be shared with the world.
