MS-Core Staff


 

The tutors that make up the Media Studies Staff department come from a wide range of experience and expertise, from individuals running their own practices and consultancies to those deeply involved with larger offices. Areas of professional expertise range from art, to new media, and of course architecture. By integrating such a range of staff within the undergraduate school, participation in Media Studies exposes students to knowledgeable designers heavily integrated into the AA and their respective professional communities.
