Hi everyone,
At Coventry University there are four faculties – Business,
Environment and Society, Engineering and Computing, Art and Design and Health
and Life Sciences. I have friends studying in every single faculty and from what
I’ve heard they are all really good. I personally study Advertising and Media
and I’m in the Art and Design Faculty.
As part of my
course I had the option to either write a dissertation or do a final project, I
picked the second one. For my project I had to produce several adverts for
clients, which is why I started an internship at an advertising agency. Working
there helped me learn a lot and supported my studies. My latest experience was with
the Coventry University Degree Show 2013. During the show, students from the
Art and Design faculty will exhibit their work, take part
in catwalk shows, screenings and presenting comprehensive exhibitions at the
University. Some students even get employed after it, as people from the
industries take an interest in visiting the shows to find talented new
employees.
To promote this years’ Degree Show we organised a Flash Mob in
Coventry city centre. As the theme was pinball, there was a silver ball that
you had to launch to play, but instead of the video game there were girls from
Coventry City Derby Dolls who rolled with the ball. It was a really interesting
way for me to learn how to attract people’s attention and create awareness from
an unusual stunt. The ‘Human Pinball’
was mentioned in several papers and radio stations afterwards. The video of the
day has now gone viral and you can watch it (or even share it to support us :P)

Speak to you soon!
