Media at AUP

Many disciplines and extracurricular activities at AUP rely heavily on the use of state-of-the-art equipment and spaces, which the University ensures thanks to its film studio (the Pat Thomson video production studio in the Combes building), a 70-seat auditorium with recording and streaming capacities, and automated classroom technologies.

Student Media is of great importance at AUP, which supports its community members who regularly engage in producing both academic output and creative contributions for a wide variety of student- and faculty-led publications across the University. The Thalmer Salman Student Media Center, which supports for example AUP Student Media (ASM) with its Peacock Plume (Student Media) and its partnership with World Radio Paris, and the Multimedia office, in particular cater to all members of the university and make resources available in accordance with students’ academic and creative needs.

AUP’s student-led media activities, which include magazines, newspapers, online news sites, podcasts, YouTube channels and more, all benefit from these state of the art media production spaces. Many of AUP’s publications distribute print copies on campus, but you can find links to digital copies here.

In addition, AUP Music and Performance, Vivre Performing Arts (Theater and Music), and the Data Science Club, for example may turn to AUP’s array of equipment and high-tech spaces.

More generally speaking, class assignments, AUP events, Practicums and cultural trips all benefit from the advantages of AUP’s investment in quality hardware and software. One example is the fact that all Mac computers on campus are equipped with Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, which can be used by any member of our university provided they have a valid AUP ID card. 

Students have access to a media suite for multimedia editing.
