Re: UKNM: Skills shortage? No. Investment shortage? yes

[Sam Carrington]

Huddersfield's new media courses are quite good, from what I hear,

although I have no experience of them myself, a couple of good friends

have taken them (MA or MSc I beleive).


The BSc I took in Electronic Imaging and Media Communication at Bradford

Uni was fairly good too, and has got bigger and better since the old

days. Its been running now for, oooh, about 8 years. There are quite a

lot of us alumni dotted around the NM industry (and even some on this

list - hello all ;>), although the course was broad based and took in TV

and Film as well.


As for London, well theres nowt worth bothering about down there of

course :P everything good is up here ;)


too many emoticons perhaps?
