Alumni Profile
Kevin Linsay BSc (Hons) Media Technology
"This course gave me a good grounding in all areas of television engineering thanks to the wide range of modules available. As an uplink engineer for news gathering companies, in the heart of Baghdad or Kabul, the most useful tools have been the ones given to me by the University. The course didn't just give me a degree and through that a job, but also it gave me several very good friends that work in the industry and know how to get jobs in a very competitive field."
