Course summary
This four year course is designed for people looking to become digital producers of innovative media content for various platforms. Training will focus on producing content that engages audiences in an immersive experience and understands the market that content is being created for. The course will prepare you for the new digital working environment that is seeping into all areas of industry as well as a changing media industry. As we have changed the way we interact with media platforms it is inevitable we change the way we produce media to circulate across these platforms with the help of learning the newer advanced technologies both innovatively and creatively. We offer an environment housing a collaborative creative collective of Filmmakers, Content Producers, Digital Journalists, Bloggers and Digital Artists at Warwickshire College and University Centre (Royal Leamington Spa Campus).
