In reply to your letter dated 2nd October, 1997, I am sorry that
you are disappointed at not having been offered a place on the Introduction
to Multimedia Course running at this College. I have investigated
the reasons why and can offer you the following information. The
number of applictions far outweighed the number of places available
making the selection process extremely rigorous. Many applicants
have, consequently, been disappointed. I know that you requested
the reason that you were not successful on this occasion and I have
now spoken to the lecturers who interviewed you.
The course is a multimedia course covering Photography, Graphic
Design, Image Manipulation, Video and Internet work. Apparently,
the work that you showed at the interview did not include photographs
or any other lens based media unlike the successful applicants.
The interviewers felt that your interest lay in image manipulation
and computer graphics rather than working with still or video
cameras. Photography constitutes more than a third of the course.
Perhaps a course that concentrates on computer design would suit
you better.
A vital element of this course is the ability to work successfully
as part of a team. This is requirement across the industry as
people rarely work on their own. Other applicants also demonstrated
their ability to work as a team more successfully than you did.
Many of the students on the course have previously completed
our 10 week Introduction to Media Course and one or more modules
on the City & Guilds Photography Course. You did join both
these courses but failed to complete them. The interviewers were
concerned that you might not be able to commit yourself to a year
long course given your previous record.
It would not be right for me to comment on the other issues which
you raised, which had no reference to the College's assessment
of your application. Indeed at the time they had no knowledge
of you outside of the College.
Yours sincerely
Gill Ingham
Head of Faculty
