Course Description

This four-year degree course is designed for students who are passionate about film and television production but may not meet the entry requirements for the traditional three-year programme. The intensive foundation year (Year 0) provides a supportive environment to develop essential skills in creative practice, idea development, and technical production. You will explore various disciplines within the School of Computing and Digital Media, helping you identify your specific practice before specialising in subsequent years. Throughout the course, you will benefit from expert tuition, masterclasses with industry professionals, and a work placement element. You will engage in practical projects, including film recording, editing, and sound design, culminating in a substantial portfolio and a public screening of your work. The course is available on a full-time basis, with part-time options also offered. By the end of your studies, you will have gained the confidence, technical expertise, and professional insight needed to launch a career in the creative industries.
