Four final-year @BCUMedProd students recently won a @RTS_media Midlands Student Award in the factual category for their gambling documentary.
Aaron Badhan, Dario Liguori, Abdul Jalfar and Mohammed Ahmed’s award-winning documentary is titled A Gambler’s Gambit.
Well done! 👏 – at Burntwood, England

We were recently paid a visit by @WarwickshireCCC, who made use of our green screen studio to capture social and visual content!
Check out this behind-the-scenes footage, including @chriswoakes surprising students with a cricket challenge 🏏
And it was really generous of you to give your time and share your experiences. The current @bcumedia students appreciated it and got a lot out of the session - so thank you.
It was lovely to share my final yr project experience with @bcumedia 2023 final yr students at @bmi1854 yesterday and to see a familiar face (@daveharte) who was v supportive at the time
And for students who are struggling, know that you will succeed even if it feels impossible
So proud! Congratulations @kattieaelice | @bcumedia @BCUMedProd @ScratchRadio @MyBCU @BCUPressOffice

And that’s a wrap🎬! Working with @sunsetandvine for the #CommonwealthGames2022 was a fun but educational experience in which I gained great insight into the #broadcasting process of what made this year's Games one to remember!! @BCUJournalism @BCUAlumni

What a week! 🥳
It has been incredible to celebrate with all of our Graduates this week, and we can't wait to see what they all go on to achieve in the future.
We're already so excited to return in August for many more Graduation celebrations 🎓

Here’s what some @BCUAlumni are up to and the programmes you might want to add to your TV planner... ow.ly/vCsE30s73FE
Blobby-mania strikes again @bcumedia @BCUPressOffice
He's a sentient flump, a pork-hued barbarian, and is completely starkers apart from a spotty bow tie.
Yet 29 years strong, we still can't get enough of Mr Blobby.
I spoke to those who love and loathe him to get under the skin of his trademark appeal inews.co.uk/culture/mr-blobb…
