Work Related Activity We recognise that some disciplines, e.g. creative and performing arts programmes, do not readily offer work placement opportunities. Students studying on these courses often undertake ‘live projects’ which involve employers and outside agencies and these contribute to the overall learning experience.
These opportunities put you in the workplace whilst you are studying for your higher education qualification; enabling you to put into practice what you are studying in the college, enhancing the skills that are essential to career development – communication, team working and inter- personal skills; and encouraging you to look beyond your course and to make contact with local and regional employers.

Simon and fellow students on the second year of the BA (Hons) Graphic Design course were invited by London-based Arup to submit ideas for an e-card destined for their employees and contacts across 70 countries. The company has designed and worked on some of the world’s most iconic buildings including Sydney Opera House, Heathrow Terminal 5, The Gherkin and the Beijing Water Cube. Simon’s animated design featuring drawings of some of Arup’s landmark projects was selected as the winning pitch.
Simon said: “This is the first project I have worked on for an outside company. We all had a good few weeks to work on this and it took me ages to come up with an idea. I finally decided on a speeded up animation. It was one piece of film so I had to sit and draw the buildings simultaneously. I have been up to Arup’s London offices to produce it again as they wanted me to include drawings of buildings from each region of the world. It’s very exciting to think my work will be sent out and seen internationally.”
Havering College enjoys a strong link with the company, as Arup senior designer Terry Nicholls is an alumni from the Graphic Design degree course.
