Modules

Television is a practical course and you will gain solid grounding in the production process, technical and craft skills. Core modules in your first year cover all aspects for television including drama, documentary and entertainment. You'll then explore an area of interest before developing your final project in your third year; a programme made to broadcast standards. As part of this project you will get to pitch your ideas to a panel of industry experts. The best work is entered into our annual television production awards. Winners are celebrated at a BAFTA style awards ceremony, and several pieces of work have been broadcast on national television. A two week work placement built into the degree will also give you essential industry experience before you graduate.
