YOUR FUTURE CAREER

n 2018 the UK's creative sector broke the £100 billion mark. Within this economy there are a great variety of roles that utilise the skillsets we develop.

Our alumni may work in-house for a large company, in a specialist design studio, run their own business or be self-employed across a variety of industries. Spending three years tracking multiple projects, solving the logistics of production and negotiating within teams of creatives will prepare you for work beyond the subject area. The University's e-Factor competition offers students resources to develop their own business and the Career Coaching team are always on hand to help students fine tune their CVs and interview techniques.

The course maintains a strong network of alumni and we regularly invite former students to return as guest speakers and lecturers.

Our course helps develop graduates who are creative, innovative and going places.

While some go on to postgraduate studies, others quickly start to make their names in leading design and advertising agencies, typographic design studios, corporate graphics companies and moving image production houses.

Such placements, exchange trips and 'live' projects with professional designers are all geared to provide you with the experience that will prepare you for a career in graphic design.

Initially, that could be, for instance, as an assistant or freelance designer, an assistant art editor, magazine designer or advertising creative.

Two of our class of 2013, Charlotte Maeva-Perret and Francesco Tacchini, went on to study further at the Royal College of Art, where they're considered to be among the country's leading young talents.

One 2012 graduate, Joe Pleass, has already had one of his co-creations selected for permanent exhibition in the design section of New York's Museum of Modern Art. Called OTOTO, it's a musical invention kit that allows you to make anything from a drum kit of saucepans to origami that sing when you touch them!

Joe, who's also managed exhibitions at Tate Britain and Tate Modern, never looked back after going on one of our exchange visits with students in Minnesota.

Below are some examples of different career trajectories.

• Chris Steel graduated from the course in 2014. They now work as a Focus Puller (1st Assistant Camera) in film and video. One of their career highs so far has been working on tour and album visuals for Kylie Minogue.
• Kemar Reid (grad. 2014) works as a graphic designer for the iconic London radio station NTS. He recently featured in a video campaign for The Face/Converse, explaining his creative practice and inspiration.
• Charlotte-Maëva Perret (grad. 2013) went on to gain an MA at the Royal College of Art. She works in design, fine art, fashion and academia, including teaching with us at UEL.
