Explore the exciting and ever-evolving world of Media and TV. Develop your production skills in our excellent facilities, with our highly experienced staff.
This course will prepare you for a career in the creative industries and beyond. You will learn about the media and develop a range of technical and creative skills, from audio and video recording to pitching an idea for the next big TV show.
Along with our recording spaces and post-production facilities, the Department has an extensive loan provision which includes a range of video cameras, audio recording devices and specialist kit.
