In reply to your letter dated 2nd October, 1997,
I am sorry that you are disappointed at not having
been offered a place on the Introduction to Multimedia
Course running at this College. I have investigated
the reasons why and can offer you the following
information. The number of applictions far outweighed
the number of places available making the selection
process extremely rigorous. Many applicants have,
consequently, been disappointed. I know that you
requested the reason that you were not successful
on this occasion and I have now spoken to the lecturers
who interviewed you.
The course is a multimedia course covering Photography,
Graphic Design, Image Manipulation, Video and
Internet work. Apparently, the work that you showed
at the interview did not include photographs or
any other lens based media unlike the successful
applicants. The interviewers felt that your interest
lay in image manipulation and computer graphics
rather than working with still or video cameras.
Photography constitutes more than a third of the
course. Perhaps a course that concentrates on
computer design would suit you better.
A vital element of this course is the ability
to work successfully as part of a team. This is
requirement across the industry as people rarely
work on their own. Other applicants also demonstrated
their ability to work as a team more successfully
than you did.
Many of the students on the course have previously
completed our 10 week Introduction to Media Course
and one or more modules on the City & Guilds
Photography Course. You did join both these courses
but failed to complete them. The interviewers
were concerned that you might not be able to commit
yourself to a year long course given your previous
record.
It would not be right for me to comment on the
other issues which you raised, which had no reference
to the College's assessment of your application.
Indeed at the time they had no knowledge of you
outside of the College.
Yours sincerely
Gill Ingham
Head of Faculty
Art, Craft & Design
