"In games development it is imperative that team members are able to discuss issues using the context and language of their colleagues, no matter whether their focus is technical, creative or artistic. By bringing these disciplines together, Digital Media Kingston is ensuring their students will have exactly the right mindset, experience and skills that they need to perform in the creative media industries".
Sarah Lemarie, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe

Design Plus

Designplus is a design-based initiative that develops and promotes collaboration between businesses and universities with an emphasis on Knowledge Transfer. We facilitate these collaborations and connections based on design interests, emerging challenges and pooled resources. Designplus is a design-based initiative within Westfocus, a network of seven West London universities, of which Brunel, Kingston and Westminster have significant design interests, covering everything from architecture to fashion, illustration to digital media. Designplus capitalises on the exciting opportunity to use these design assets for collaborations in business-related areas of research expertise, for example materials engineering or consumer psychology. http://www.designplus.org.uk/default.aspx
