Advanced Project Placements / Internships

The MAT phd students have public vivas for their Advanced Project Placements every year, details can be found with our Advance Placement / Internship Projects.

Students have so far worked with hosts such as BBC, United Visual Artists, Culturelab, Cinimod, Troika, Vitamins Design, Proctor and Gamble, Seed Media Group New York and FXPansion.

In 2012, attendants to these vivas included guests from the BBC, Lean Mean Fighting Machine, Pora Ora, QM Innovation as well as host organisations. All were surprised at the wide range and high level of projects undertaken this year and already there is a lot of interest in hosting the new PHD students and masters who have joined recently.
