Course summary
Media is everywhere, and it’s here to stay. From the Hollywood blockbusters in cinemas to the viral videos we scroll through on our phones, it entertains, informs and influences us every day. But with so much of it at our fingertips, how can we make new content stand out? Whether you’re new to the world of digital media production or a seasoned content creator, our BA Media Production degree will introduce you to industry-standard tools and practices, refine your technical and creative skills, and help you produce high-quality and distinct work which cuts through a media-saturated society. It’s for film and television enthusiasts, those with a keen eye for detail, and all-round creatives eager to bring their ideas to life. Used for good or for bad, media in all its forms can be immensely powerful. It’s today’s chosen channel for expression, and it’s your way of telling the world who you are and what you stand for. If you want to combine creative communication with technical skill, make a meaningful impact on people, and help shape the future of media, this course is for you. Why study Media Production at NTU?
