EKC Broadstairs College Margate Digital Campus is our bold new creative facility, currently under development and set to transform the way students learn and create.
Once complete, it will become the vibrant home of our Creative Technology pathway, bringing cutting-edge facilities and industry-focused learning together within our Creative and Design courses.
Proudly funded by the UK Government, this project represents a major investment in the future of digital creativity.
Our Level 3 Animation and Illustration course has been created in close collaboration with animation studio, A+C Studios, who are based in Margate.
They will be on hand during the delivery and will be offering work placement opportunities.
We’ve been speaking to Dan Richards, Founder and Director of A+C Studios, to find out what advice he would give to students who are starting, or thinking about starting the course.

“My favourite project so far has been a video around the student experience at College. We had to interview students and find out what everyday life is like for them.
“This course is teaching me about a lot more about the media industry and what goes into it, which means I can expand on my photography knowledge.
“My dream is to go into the RAF as a Content Creator, where I’d work with pilots in the planes.”
“I’ve always had the interest in photography and filming. I knew that for the T Level course, that would be the core focus.
“For me, a T Level was the way to go as it has a big focus on work placement and connecting with employers.
“I currently have a part time job at Brands Hatch, and I know they have a media team, so I’m hoping to reach out and work more in Content Creation there.
“If you’re considering studying Media, it is really fun and there are so many good skills you will learn.”
