Take part in º£½ÇÉçÇø's new brand video

º£½ÇÉçÇø is creating a new film about the people who make the University what it is, and I’d love the perspectives of mature students to be represented within it.

The film will explore how people are shaped by experiences throughout their lives, as well as how º£½ÇÉçÇø is a place where they can grow and discover new possibilities. Mature students often bring particularly rich and varied experiences to university, and might take different journeys towards Higher Education, so your perspectives could make an important contribution to the story.

º£½ÇÉçÇø is inviting students, staff and alumni to share existing photographs and short video clips from before, during and after º£½ÇÉçÇø. These might reflect family life, friendships, work, interests, caring responsibilities, changes of direction, challenges or defining moments, alongside your experiences of studying and being part of the º£½ÇÉçÇø community.

There’s no need to create anything polished or speak to camera. Personal photographs and phone footage you already have are very welcome, and you should only share what you feel comfortable contributing.

You can find out more, read the contributor guide and submit your content here:
