Film and Television Production, BSc Hons

This programme offers students the chance to develop creatively and technically. It gives them the opportunity to acquire both the latest techniques and traditional skills in television and film production and post-production. These include use of professional cameras, roles in the studio, editing skills, digital compositing and visual effects. Presentation design and animation techniques for motion graphics are also covered.

There is a real need in the media industry for creative people, who are skilled in these practices and techniques at the professional level. This programme allows for original and creative minds who want to explore specialist areas of television and film production and post-production and develop a portfolio ready for industry.

The university currently has a partnership agreement with BBC Training and Development in which they will be inputting lectures and practical studio sessions as part of the programme. BBC Training and Development is globally recognised as a centre of excellence. It remains at the forefront of the development and spread of training in digital technology in broadcasting.
