鈥淭echnology is changing the ways that we communicate, with a major focus on storytelling through film and images.

I was pleased to be able to speak to students and share insights from the media and entertainment industry in India, as well as to explore correlations between what is happening in the UK and overseas. The sessions enabled me to promote opportunities for internships and placements that might give graduates a more global perspective.鈥�
