Back to Overview

10th August 2010

Over 60 graduates from SAE Institute centres across Europe attended the Graduation Ceremony at Middlesex University, London in July.

The graduates were the latest cohort of students completing the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree programme since SAE entered a collaborative teaching partnership with Middlesex in 1998.

To celebrate their success, a special after-graduation event was organised. Patrick Phillips, Director of Programmes - Media Arts at Middlesex, welcomed the students to the Hendon campus and congratulated graduates on their achievement.

The recent graduates and their families also had the opportunity to listen to SAE’s guest speaker, Professor Michael Bridger, who gave an inspiring speech about the wider world of creative development media. In particular, Professor Bridger highlighted the idea of ‘’connecting’’ and how it may become a vital tool toward life and work success.

“Making always involves connecting and there is nearly always a social connection with others in the process of making".

“Through making and sharing, we increase our connection with our society and our physical environment”, he said.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor International, Terry Butland, who also attended the event, commented:  "The partnership between Middlesex and SAE Institute has been a success for more than 10 years - I hope it will continue to flourish”.
