Graduation Ceremony on 7th November

For all our students who passed their exams and were awarded a degree this past summer, the graduation ceremony will be on the 7th November at Milton Court Concert Hall in London. 

We look forward to welcoming all our students for the graduation ceremony and afterwards for a celebratory reception.

This is a particularly exciting day for our students at Escape Studios, as this will be the first cohort of undergraduate Escapees to receive their BA in the Art of Computer Animation, a major milestone for us all.

2019 Graduation Ceremony
All our graduating students will receive an email invitation to the ceremony. To attend the ceremony, students must register attendance by following the instructions sent in your official email invite. If you haven't had a invite by now, make sure to contact studentservices@pearsoncollege.com

The graduation ceremony is a formal occasion to celebrate our students' achievement. It's also an opportunity for us, the tutors at Escape Studios, to check in with our graduates and find out how they are getting on. Nowadays it's much easier to stay in contact with our students through social media such as LinkedIn (read this blog post to see why every animator needs their own well-tended LinkeIn profile), but it's also helpful to meet in person the old fashioned way.

Meeting our graduates helps us to keep track of how they are getting on, and helps us maintain our focus on helping all our graduates find work in their chosen field, successfully building their careers.
