Using the endless talent on campus: Introducing the DMU Creative Agency

A new way to bring your projects to life

‍ The Careers Team is pleased to announce the launch of the DMU Creative Agency. This is a new initiative designed to connect talented students and recent graduates with creative projects across the university, via real, freelancing opportunities.

‍ This brand new opportunity enables staff within DMU to ‘hire’ a student or recent graduate to undertake a one-off project. If your team could benefit from fresh creative support, this is an excellent opportunity to access high‑quality work while supporting student employability.

‍ ‍

What kind of projects can you submit?

‍ ‍

The Creative Agency can support a wide range of one‑off pieces of work, including:

‍ ‍

  • Video production to showcase a project, initiative or event

  • Photography for activities, events or team moments

  • Graphic design such as posters, digital assets or visual branding

‍ ‍

If you have a small creative project that would benefit from professional input, we encourage you to submit a brief.

‍ ‍

How it works

‍ ‍

  • Staff submit a short project brief

  • DMU Made (Careers Team) matches the brief with a suitable student or recent graduate

  • The creative is paid a £200 one‑off fee

  • Projects must be deliverable by August 2026

‍ ‍

This initiative offers a valuable way to support student development while gaining creative outputs for your department.
