The annual University of Westminster Degree Shows highlight a range of projects completed by our creative students, reflecting the varied talent across the Westminster School of Arts and the School of Media and Communication.
We sat down with Beth Theobald, a third-year Photography BA student to find out more about her final year project.
What inspired you to create your final project?
The current climate crisis and the need for long-term change are the key drivers behind my project. After investigating the environmental impact of analogue photography for my dissertation, I decided to explore the possibilities of a more feasible way to create a photographic project.
What are you most excited about for the degree show?
I can’t wait to see everyone’s work on the University walls and celebrate together in-person (after various lockdowns)! We’ve all worked extremely hard and the Degree Shows allow us to pause for a moment and celebrate our achievements.
What are your plans after graduation?
I’ve really enjoyed studying my degree but I’m also looking forward to having a short break. I will then start applying for photography or studio assistant positions while working as a freelancer.
What are some of your career aspirations?
My long term career goals are still uncertain. The University of Westminster has opened my eyes to so many possibilities and different career paths that I can take. I’d like to work in my field but I’m also interested in studying for a Masters degree.
This year, the University will be hosting individual course degree shows in person across London and online on the dedicated degree shows website.
