Having left Portugal to further his studies, Tomas Simoes Coelho has returned to Lisbon to work for one of the country\u2019s leading advertising agencies. The Film and Television Production graduate found that his time at the University of Gloucestershire not only enabled him to learn his trade, but gave him a range of wider skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you are thrown at the professional world it can be very overwhelming, and you see and have to do things you\u2019ve never done before. The roots I created at the University of Gloucestershire were such a big help for while I was there, but also what I doing today. The principles are given to you at uni and then you decide what to do with them after, it\u2019s like a seed was planted in me and I have been growing it everyday since!\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomas is now a Motion Designer and Video Editor\u00a0at Partners advertising agency. Their clients include the Portuguese Football Federation, BPI (Portuguese Investment Bank) and telecommunications company, MEO. And his advice to current students is to start your projects ahead of time:<\/p>\n
