Brunel University London's modern, industry standard digital media facilities include a green screen and post-production studio, motion capture, sound and photography studios, 4K digital cinema cameras, and a dedicated render farm. Students will have independent access to exclusive PC and Mac computing workshops and benefit from the latest industry standard specialist software for graphic design and image/video editing, 3D animation, digital compositing and rich interactive content creation. There's also the opportunity for students to use Brunel University London's immersive virtual environment laboratory. This includes an immersive dome (planetarium) set up for Brunel University London by the National Space Centre in Leicester, and is one of only a few in the UK!

There are guest lectures covering lots of different digital media topics and the visiting lecturers provide advice on how to structure one's portfolio and showreels. Speakers include creative and design directors, user experience designers, 3D graphic supervisors, as well as mobile and web developers.

Visits are arranged to TV and photography studios, and post-production houses. There’s also the opportunity to go to conferences and this is a chance to build networks with key industry experts. In addition, students have the advantage of Brunel University London’s close location to London for trips to exhibitions celebrating the creative industries.

A calendar highlight is the BrunelDigital degree show hosted on Brunel's one London campus. Exhibiting creative work at this event is a great way for students to connect with leading creative technologists and showcase their talent.
