Four passionate media enthusiasts, based at London South East College’s Bexley Campus, are Ravensbourne-bound in September after the successful completion of their Creative Media Production BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma course.

Maia, Isabel, Kara and Emma have been studying and working together as a team on the College’s very own TV channel ‘LSECTV’ for the past three years.

Now, the four friends from south east London are preparing to take the next steps in their careers together. All have been successful in winning a place at one of the country’s most renowned digital media and design-focused university colleges this month.

Ravensbourne has an impressive reputation for innovative, industry-focused professional and higher education courses and is located on the Greenwich Peninsula in East London. It is ranked among the world’s top 50 universities for Art and Design.

Maia, 19 from Erith will be studying for a BA (Hons) Editing and Post Production. She says: “I am so happy about winning a place at Ravensbourne and even more delighted that my friends will be there with me. We’ve all been very supportive of each other and it’s great to know that we will all be in the same creative environment together for another three years. I can’t wait to get started but it will be sad to leave LSEC.”

Kara, 17 from Belvedere will be joining Maia on the same course and is equally as eager to get started. She says: “I can’t thank the tutors and technicians here at LSEC enough for what they have given me. Since I started the course I have achieved so much and gained enormous amounts of confidence from day one. I have had the opportunity to try lots of different roles and specialisms found in the creative media industry but I’ve finally decided that film and TV editing, sound and vision mixing is definitely the route for me. At Ravensbourne, I’ll be able to take another huge step forward and really fine tune my skills and professionalism.”

Isabel, 19 from Bexleyheath and Emma, 20 from Belvedere, will both be studying for a BA (Hons) Digital Television Production.
