Name: Sonja Gabriel
Course: Film Studies: Contemporary Developments (previous title for the Film Studies MA)

"I completed the Film Studies MA in October 2002 and went on to work as a library assistant at Kingston University. I have been working at the BBC for the last two years as a broadcast media co-ordinator, in its Information and Archives Department.

"I really enjoyed the course at Kingston as it was so varied and very focused on world cinema, which I am particularly interested in. I found the tutors very supportive, especially whilst I was researching my dissertation. The University also has a wealth of resources to support various research interests."

Name: Michelle Carr
Course: Film Studies: Contemporary Developments (previous title for the Film Studies MA)
Year of graduation: 2006

"I came to Kingston as an international student from America. During the course and after graduation, I worked for the British Film Institute, assisting the facilities manager at the National Film Theatre and IMAX Cinema in Waterloo. I also had the opportunity to work on location during the filming of '28 Weeks Later' under the supervision of the location manager.

"Today I am an adjunct professor of communications at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, teaching television studio production and television field production. I am also working on various other freelance projects in the Boston area.

"I very much enjoyed my experience at Kingston, which has given me the background in film theory that I didn't have before, being on the technical end of filmmaking."
