• Case study Jack Moss

  Motivational, helpful and inspirational teaching staff would be high on most students list of priorities when selecting a university to attend and a course to study. For Jack Moss, these factors were of primary importance, and he is full of praise for the contribution his lecturer, David James, made throughout Jacks time at university. Jack, who graduated with a First Class Honours degree, says: I was really inspired by David. I wasnt entirely sure which path I wanted to follow until I had a motion graphics lecture with him at the end of my second year. Motion graphics was a great discovery for me; I could do the 2D animation that I was fond of but also incorporate that with 3D elements.

• Case study Alan Headspeath

  Alan Headspeath studied at the Open University before coming to Worcester. During his undergraduate course, he was the Mature Students Officer.

  Alan chose Worcester because it offered the course that he wanted and because it was local to where he lived. He felt that the University has good facilities and offers a friendly, outgoing sense of community. He says of the programme, The course is very diverse but the subjects that it encompasses are also linked. Alan appreciated the fact that the tutors are friendly and approachable and excellent within their specialist fields.

  Active in the Red Cross, Alan decided to undertake voluntary work in third world countries on graduation, using the subject, creative and management skills he gained on his course.
