Read about some of the ways we work to make your time at Escape Studios a fun, supportive and memorable experience!
Our Societies
With the help of the Escape Student Association (ESA), there are various societies one can join during their studies with us.
The societies available are always evolving, but our most recent include:
- Tabletop society
- Boulder society
- Dance society
- Football Club
- Islamic
- Badminton
- LGBTQ+
None of these screaming you? We can help you start your own society!
Student Community
From the moment you enrol, the team is here to support you. Your first point of contact is the Escape Hub on campus, and there are plenty of studio assistants out and about, ready to provide any tech or study support.
What we do:
- Help you 'work hard, play hard' by organising fun events
- Let students know the latest through social media and monthly newsletters
- Manage our famous selection of merch exclusively available to our students and Escapees
- Support the ESA to organise and run societies.
Events and get-togethers
As there is so much more to life than studying, we have an array of events from bus parties to the unique annual welcome week for new students.
Our diverse events underpin the creative identity of Escape, catering for the specific interests of our students. There will always be a niche you can relate to. Our events include:
- Our “An Evening With...” series with professionals from our industry partners speaking about their latest project and providing industry advice. Our most recent "An Evening With" was with Chris McGaw, lead animator at Framestore who went into detail of the latest How to Train your Dragon movie.
- Game nights/tournaments
- Cinema screenings (sometimes with Q&As from professionals who worked on the films!)
- Studio visits organised by our Talent Development Team
- The End of Year Showcase, this year held at Vue, Leicester Square
- Escapeverse Live (Formerly The VFX Festival)
- And of course, graduation!
Escape Student Association (ESA)
The ESA is run by students, for students and is a major part of student life here.
With an active presence on Discord, the ESA helps maintain our strong community, making sure there's something for everyone. Whether you want to experience new things, make friends or just try something new.
