Animation students co-produce films with students from University of Applied Arts Vienna

Middlesex University has partnered with the University of Applied Arts Vienna to showcase an exclusive programme of diverse films at the Austrian Cultural Forum on 13 January.

Students from Vienna have joined Middlesex BA Animation students for an interdisciplinary workshop week in London organised by Osbert Parker, Senior Lecturer in Stop-Motion Animation at Middlesex University, and Nikoloaus Jantsch from University of Applied Arts Vienna.

“Students tend to learn individually at university, but to adjust to industry they must learn to work in teams – something our students have achieved while working intensively through this international project together,” says Osbert Parker.

A screening at the Austrian Cultural Forum entitled New Adventures in Animation will showcase the most exciting, engaging and emotionally powerful films from both universities.
Design department awarded £35000

After a successful application to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), Middlesex University’s Department of Design has been awarded funding for an exciting new project which will change the way students showcase and promote their work.

The proposal from Middlesex - entitled Digital Showscapes - will see emerging digital technologies used in a variety of ways to allow audiences to view student work without physically attending an exhibition.

“Since student employability is a high priority, it is exciting to explore how new and emerging digital technologies can be harnessed for graduates’ benefit,” Professor Gareth Williams, Head of the Department of Design at Middlesex University
