middlesex creative graduates 2020

We are here!

‘We are here!’ declare the next generation of creative talent emerging from Middlesex University, whose work is showcased on this site. It is a twofold call to arms meaning both ‘We are here, we have arrived!’ and ‘We are here, take notice!’.

‘By completing our degrees we have arrived, ready to begin our careers in all branches of the creative industries. But more importantly take notice, because we intend to shake up your world with our talent, skills and creative minds.’

Over thirty creative disciplines are included here across design, art, performance and media. Specialisms are as diverse as games design, choreography, visual effects and interior architecture. The breadth of subjects leads to fascinating cross-pollination of ideas and collaborative practices. Every graduate has benefited from our close connections to the creative industries and our state-of-the-art industry-standard facilities and is ready to start their professional lives.

Dean’s Welcome Note

It is always a special privilege to be able to celebrate the achievements of our students in a public forum, at the culmination of their undergraduate studies and their transition to professional life. If you are looking to engage a talented creative professional for a particular role or project, or buy or commission work, then I encourage you to contact the designers, artists, makers and other creatives whose work is gathered here.

The site features incredible work by our 2020 graduates across over thirty undergraduate programmes in the Faculties of Arts & Creative Industries and Science & Technology at our London campus, and from our campus in Dubai. The students’ technical skills and creative flair, that will be evident to you, have been honed in a practice-led culture that values diversity, is international in outlook and thrives on collaboration. Many have already worked on live briefs and in competitive contexts and all have had the opportunity to work independently and with others in a multi-disciplinary environment.

The work that you see here was completed during the COVID 19 lockdown period, when our University facilities and studios, like so many across the world, were forced to close. I am so proud of all students and staff who have demonstrated their resilience, adaptability and creativity in facing the future with a determination to succeed. There are many uncertainties ahead and I wish all our skilled and creative graduates every success in creating a brighter and better world for us all.
