Degree Results

Over the past few weeks I had been preparing to receive my results and overall degree classification on July 2nd so it came as a great surprise when, on Monday 1st July, I received a text saying the results had gone live.  

Three years of hard work had  been building up to this moment and I am absolutely ecstatic to announce that I will be graduating from Birmingham City University with a First Class BA (Hons) in Media and Communication!   

Safe to say I have spent the last few days celebrating with friends and family!  

Exhibit This 2013: Day One!

So yesterday saw the launch day of Exhibit This 2013!

It was a long and rainy day but the students of Birmingham City University's School of Media made the best of it. We're thankful for all the people who came along and showed their interest... I believe the cakes and sweets on offer made the travel down to the Custard Factory much easier!

Here's myself with my team partner showcasing our work on Sundae Promotions -

We were also happy to be able to work again with one of the great artists from Access to Music (Birmingham), Mike Scarrott, at the exhibition. His acoustic performance welcomed our guests into the exhibition space. 

Don't forget, if you missed out last night then you can still get involved tonight!

Head down to the Custard Factory from 6pm and see all the great media talent on offer. 

Sundae Promotions

Welcome to my new project!

Sundae Promotions is a Creative Live Events Project Management Team set up and run by myself and my team partner, Amy McArthur. Our mission is to challenge the perception of unsigned music and promote Birmingham's creative industries. We're going to do this by putting on a live event experience in a creative space rather than a 'traditional' venue. 

We want to bring back the art to live music and involve people in new music experiences as we feel live unsigned nights have become a little boring and standardised!

Not only are we working with and supporting Birmingham's creative industry but we want to offer platforms for talented young individuals and groups in Birmingham to showcase their talent - be it musical or media based! We're currently collaborating with music colleges around Birmingham and various university media projects to ensure Sundae Promotions is a creative community project that brings a little excitement back to Birmingham's music scene. 

I've been super busy working on this project for the past few months and we're really hoping it's going to be a great success and an event that people will remember as offering something different! 

You can keep up-to-date with the project on Facebook and Twitter. Please check these out as we'd really appreciate your support and as always, any feedback is welcome!

Update on Investigations

The final piece for our investigation into the worth of a degree was recently posted and you can read it here! Throughout our research we uncovered some interesting and shocking information regarding the current state of student internships and the truth about how little of the student loans will actually be repaid. We believe this is a very important subject so please read our findings and let us know your thoughts by commenting below.

Moving on, we have now started on our next project: an investigation into student prostitution. We are on the path to uncovering the extent of students prostitution. Is it truth or myth? Expect to see interesting interviews with those at the very core of the investigation and we will be highlighting the real problems of student in the sex trade.

We are very eager to hear your thoughts so please check out our investigation and let us know your opinions and views.
