MILO Studio

Campus Highlights
We’re proud to boast resources that are extremely rare in education. Our Hollywood standard MILO unit is one of only two owned by universities in Europe and is the same technology used by Aardman Animations, makers of Wallace and Gromit. Using MILO to film the title sequence for Channel 4’s ‘How to Look Good Naked’, some of our students supported Quench Design, a local design company specialising in on-screen creativity, with the production.
