SONY GOLD FOR RADIO GRADUATES Three media graduates from the University of Bedfordshire won Gold at the 2012 Sony Radio Academy Awards.

KISS FM presenters Rickie HaywoodWilliams and Melvin Odoom won gold in the Breakfast Show of the Year category, with their show KISS Breakfast with Rickie, Melvin and Charlie. Another graduate, producer Matt Fisher, received a gold Sony as part of the BBC Radio 1Xtra team for best station imaging.

Rickie and Melvin studied Media Perfomance with Radio together and began their working partnership on the University’s community radio station Radio Lab.

Matt Fisher also studied Media Performance with Radio and has had a successful career, working for BBC Three Counties Radio, Chiltern FM (now Heart FM) and XFM, before becoming sound manager at BBC Radio 1.

Principal Lecturer in Media and project co-ordinator for Radio LaB, Dr Janey Gordon, said: “I am thrilled that our graduates are doing so well and achieving public acclaim.

The Sony Awards are the Oscars of the radio world – to be nominated is an achievement but to win a Gold Sony is outstanding.”

Students star in local musical A University of Bedfordshire student recently played a range of roles in one of 2014’s biggest stage shows at Milton Keynes Theatre – The Wiz. Studying English and Theatre Studies at the Bedford campus, Sophie Giscard fulfilled her role in the production, where she took on three senior dancing roles in the musical adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Before the event she said: “At University I have gained lots of experience in drama performances, which has also involved dance, but The Wiz will be my first musical – and I can’t wait to start rehearsals.”

Being the production’s main partner, the University also sponsored four local performers in The Wiz and has offered internship positions to two students.

filled the role of Assistant Stage Manager, while first year Theatre and Professional Practice student Xanthia Ncube served as a Wardrobe Assistant.

MARIE CLAIRE MENTORSHIP

Students and facilities showcased live on BBC

Co-winner of the Ivy Black award for outstanding achievement, Laura Ferguson, graduated with a first-class BA with Honours in English Studies and won the fantastic opportunity to be mentored by former deputy editor of In Style magazine and online editor of the international women’s magazine, Marie Claire.

Grandmother and mother of three, Laura was inspired by her own experiences as she tried to overcome postnatal depression and found that writing provided therapeutic support. In time she realised that she had a talent and developed her personal story into a fictional story.

After much contemplation over her future and with the intention to seek a better life for her children, Laura decided to come to the University of Bedfordshire to study English. She said: I’m an example of what can be achieved when you study a subject you love and when you have amazingly dedicated tutors.’

Television production students got a taste of life in the front line of the industry, when Sunday Politics East was broadcast live by the BBC from the University of Bedfordshire’s Luton campus.

Five Bedfordshire students were involved in helping the BBC crew to produce the regional segment of one of the BBC’s leading political talk shows, in the University’s TV studios, in advance of the European elections.

One of the students who assisted the BBC with the programme – the third time that Sunday Politics East has been broadcast live from the University – was first year media production student Mircea Lupescu, who was given the opportunity to man one of the cameras. He said: “It was a great opportunity to work in a professional environment and in such an exciting way. I feel very lucky that my course can provide this sort of work experience.”

Kathryn Wolfe, Senior Lecturer in Media Performance and Course Leader in Television Production, said: “When you

start out looking for experience in this industry, your first job is making tea! Which makes this such a great endorsement, by the biggest broadcaster in the country, of our students and facilities. That the BBC can come here, without their own equipment, and make a live broadcast of this nature is fantastic.”

The other students involved were Charles Millen, Charlotte Sayers, Matt DiLiello and Emily Field Gillard.

A: There wasn’t really one thing – the course gave me the facilities, support, teaching and knowledge I needed to put myself out into the real world.
