The course has been devised to provide students with key and transferable skills and knowledge, so that they may be able to pursue a career in the creative media industries and beyond. Past students have gone on to work successfully across a range of specific television production positions including roles as researchers, camera operators, production managers and directors.
The course blends theoretical and practical learning, enabling students to develop a critical understanding of the conventions, techniques and current practices in television production and use this knowledge to produce projects.
Modules aim to develop thinking multi-skilled practitioners; you will engage with the whole production process, from writing ‘treatments’ to editing, and from production management to editorial decision-making.
