Degree structureYear 1In Year 1, students undertake four core courses enabling them to learn technical and creative skills; you will be introduced to the craft of film and TV production and develop an understanding of how the industry works. You will produce engaging and entertaining productions across genres, making drama, documentary and TV studio productions that showcase content and technical knowledge and application. Through practical sessions and hands-on experience, you will apply theory to practical production and build your competency in a range of areas, including camera operation, sound, lighting and post-production.
Year 2Year 2 further develops the craft skills and a deeper knowledge and understanding of the industry. Students study two core courses and also choose two options that might interest them.

It will also consolidate and expand your first two years of study.
