Design and Digital Media

Studying at Coventry University has been a unique experience. The staff are supportive and experienced. They are on hand to assist and support at any time and provide a diverse spread of creative input, opinion, direction and experience in the profession. This made me decide to return to Coventry University for my PhD studies.

I enrolled as a PhD student in November 2006 (having obtained my MA in Design and Digital Media in 2002), researching into the potential of interactive multimedia and other practical solutions for supporting dyslexic primary school children.

Coventry University provides numerous support systems and facilities such as the art studio, labs, state-of-the-art library and resource centre - all of which have made my studies comfortable and resourceful. The University also provides me opportunities to attend conferences, research events and other useful activities. The research and learning process is enjoyable and generates motivation for students individually or as a group.

In addition, studying at Coventry University enables me to expand my social life. I really enjoy getting to know not only British students, but international students from all over the world.
