Outstanding students at the Faculty of Technology, Engineering and the Environment at Birmingham City University are offered the opportunity to gain awards from reputable blue-chip organisations for their hard work during their studies.
Earlier this year, TV Presenter Arti Halai helped to celebrate the outstanding work of Birmingham City University students as they gained awards and recognition from organisations such as the BBC, Microsoft UK and Jaguar Land Rover.
Arti said: ““The Faculty has always been proud of its long-term relationships with industry and business. All of its programmes are designed with input and guidance from industry and professional bodies to ensure students are ready to hit the ground running in their chosen professions. Our close relationships with industry also mean that students are able to secure a range of interesting placements and project opportunities as part of their studies.”
Among the winners was Luke De La Nougerede Shardow who was awarded the Creative Video Productions Prize for outstanding achievement in a film production-related course. Luke, who gained a First Class honours degree, set up his own company, Lightwind Productions, to produce an acclaimed 30-minute film ‘Finding Flynn’.
Luke also produced the short film ‘The Double Date’, alongside fellow prize-winner Anthony Cooper, which has since been accepted into the British Film Institute’s Cinematique! film festival. Anthony picked up an accolade for outstanding performance in a moving image-related course and won praise from BBC Midlands Today correspondent Laura May McMullen.
