Student Experience

-- Matteo Vinti

What appealed to me most about the BA in Digital Media Design* was the various modules in design production and learning the technical aspect of the software. I really enjoyed the course because I was able to ask questions during class and express my own views and ideas. The lecturers were excellent at listening and helping you work out the solution.

The course provides each student with an opportunity to be creative and express his or her own style and ideas. The equipment and the studio facilities help the student to create good quality, professional work. I think the course really assisted in fundamentally helping me understand how the digital media industry works.

I would definitely recommend this course to others. I am from Italy, but LYIT felt like a second home in so many ways.
