What will I do

From learning how to use industry standard film production equipment in our television production studio, to animation and drawing storyboards, you can expect to graduate as a well-rounded producer, director, and media specialist.

Our Advanced media production course will allow you to learn from tutors with extensive industry experience, you will gain the required studio skills in editing and recording sound and footage. You will learn all about animation for media production, including coming up with concepts for storyboards. To support this knowledge development, you will also experience life in the industry through work experience and visits to studio-based TV shows and expos. This industry experience will be enhanced through live projects commissioned via employers.

There is a key focus on work experience in both years of the course, to ensure you develop employability skills and can apply them in a work environment. We have a dedicated team to support you with work experience and opportunities for enhanced work placements, where you will work with a company for a number of weeks.

What’s next?

Alternatively, you may decide to use the contacts you’ve gained throughout your course to head straight into the industry, as a junior researcher, runner, or camera person.
