TV production graduate scoops Best Music Video at NME Awards 2017

BA Television Production graduate Phil Poole picked up the Best Music Video award at the NME Awards on 15 February at the O2 Academy in Brixton.

Specialising in directing, shooting and editing a wide range of videos in many different genres, Phil won the award for his production of Consume Or Be Consumed by English punk duo Slaves.

“The great technical facilities allowed me to experiment and develop using industry-relevant equipment. The lecturers were not only a great source of information, but also networking potential…And the location was vital for me - there is simply no better place to be than London when looking to work in music videos.” - Phil Poole

Media students strive for change

A group of BA Advertising, Public Relations and Media students have recently run a Bring and Give (B.A.G) campaign to support the local homeless community.

Each year students on the course run a campaign on a topic of their choosing as part of their Campaigns and Social Change module. This year they have partnered with local charity Homeless Action Barnet (HAB) to try and deliver some practical help to local people in need.

“Our degrees have a very strong emphasis on giving students the kind of practical skills they'll need beyond the University and this project is an example of them taking what they've learned into their community." - Martin McGrath, Lecturer in Public Relations and Media.

Students produce new chat show

Students from all years of BA Television Production came together to record a live TV programme entitled MDX NOW. The show is a collaborative production focusing on the success of current and former students from across the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries. Students took on a variety of different roles including presenting, operating cameras and controlling lighting and sound.

MDX Now was coordinated by Dale Wightman (above, centre), Lecturer in television production, as a way to capture the hands-on and collaborative nature of the television industry the degree prepares students for.

Middlesex’s BA Television Production course is one of the most practical and career-focused television degrees in the UK, having been developed in close consultation with the television industry.

MDX named best university in London

Middlesex University London has been named the best young university in London and, for the second year in a row, ranked as one of the best 150 young universities in the world in the Times Higher Education’s Young University Rankings.
