- To translate key skills and knowledge of industry practice to a diverse student cohort which will include supervision of students on placement and through their final Live Project.
- To foster new relationships with commercial and cultural institutions that will enhance student opportunities.
- To foster organisational skills around course management and curriculum delivery, and to nurture creativity and artistic flair across our student community.
- To inspire and drive the creative vision of the course and the team.

- To conduct and develop own research and practice.
In a city with a wealth of creative and digital enterprise, the School has built a strong set of pedagogic and enterprise relationships with key media and arts organisations, including the Brighton Festival, Brighton Fringe, Brighton Digital Festival and Wired Sussex among others.
