"It was very impressive to see the studio and all the professionals involved in creating the programme," says Josef Haseth, a Creative Business student. This week, 168 second-year Creative Business students visited Europe’s largest TV studio, where they witnessed the live recording of Talpa Studios’ hit show The Floor UK.

Students analysed the format, got a behind-the-scenes look, and even joined the live audience. "I found this very interesting. I was able to see the actual control room and how they produce a game show for the British market," says student Artyom Veliksar.

Student Kristiana Balcune adds: "It’s very valuable for me to experience the creation of an international hit format up close. I realised that every detail matters."

The Operations Manager at Talpa Studios commented: "As a BUas alumnus, I think it’s important to inspire the next generation. These are our colleagues of the future."

"I’m in talks with Talpa Studios to make this a recurring event," says part-time lecturer and filmmaker Stefan Egberts, who organised this Authentic Industry Experience and previously worked at Talpa. "Connecting with the industry is one of the three pillars of the Academy for AI, Games and Media, and we can see how significant the impact of this experience is on our students."
