“Post-graduation it was incredibly difficult finding a role that would provide meaningful work experience. My placement at EDF provided varied work with video production, editing on top of creating graphics for social media. The role has been essential in refining my abilities, pushing me to stretch my limits, and fostering a newfound assurance in my creative skills.”

Liam, Creative Content Industrial Placement 2023

“This fantastic placement has given me great experience with creative content that I wouldn’t have been able to get on my degree. I’m learning how to edit professional videos for internal and external use alongside creating graphics for social media. I’ve also worked on web design, search engine optimisation and developed the key skills required for a digital marketer.”

James, Communications Placement 2022
