From the The Studio School Liverpool
Through cutting-edge digital technology, The Studio equips students to have a good impact on the world. In particular, we prepare young people for work, entrepreneurship, starting a new firm, or furthering their education in the field of digital media. Instead of using technology as consumers, our students design it. This gives individuals the ability to create chances for themselves in this developing industry. They will use their knowledge to apply digital technology to better the lives of others, making them the future digital leaders. Some students apply their skills directly in the gaming, animation, digital marketing and computer technology sectors; others will work for businesses and organisations that use digital media to develop products and services to connect with clients, consumers, patients and citizens.
