"I began my studies at Goldsmiths after working as a communications coordinator for an international humanitarian charity. was a perfect chance for me to take my practical experience to the next level by adding a broader theoretical understanding of contemporary media in an international context.  

Researching international social media campaigns for my dissertation provided valuable insight into the dynamics of the digital landscape, and has become a key aspect of my post-graduation career. I currently work as a marketing officer at the Almeida Theatre, where I manage social media, coordinate print and photography for the show campaigns and help promote the theatre’s youth and community work. 

Goldsmiths provided a place where I could explore specific technology and ideas that intrigued me, while keeping them rooted in theory and research. The mix of students on the core programme and option courses made for dynamic discussions, my lecturers and tutors challenged me to push my ideas further than I would have on my own, and the confidence I developed on my course was invaluable."
