This course encourages students to take a multi-disciplined approach to media production. Students will learn the skills required to succeed in an increasingly multi-platform sector. Students will have opportunities to participate in practical media production work and to engage and network with professionals from the media production and journalism sector.
Following the HND you will be able to complete a final 'Top-Up' year at university to gain the full honours Degree. Career options include a range of roles in TV and radio broadcasting, digital media, marketing, PR and publishing.
Students are advised to purchase a suitable size hard drive (1Tb minimum) for the storage of AV work. Trips will be arranged to support the delivery of units.
