Student Experience Team

The Community and Student Experience Teams at Escape Studios are on hand to help make day-to-day life as easy as possible for you, so you can really concentrate on your studies and make the most of the community we have built here.

You'll see their influence throughout your time at Escape Studios from "An Evening With...” events, with guests from the world of VFX, Animation and Games, to fun events either at the campus or further afield. Online they control our Discord servers, so you can always be in touch with your peers and staff. They are also the people to talk to if you want some of our amazing Escape Studios merchandise!
