Television Production

Why Television Production?
Our Television Production degree will allow you to explore a range of genres including documentary, drama and entertainment, as you develop professional skills in single and multi-camera production programmes. With opportunities to gain real experience working on programmes such as ‘X Factor’, ‘Britain's Got Talent’, ‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’, ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Flog It’, our graduates stand out from the competition. You’ll also have the chance to work with Cheltenham Festivals to film and vision-mix large events, and with local sports clubs to produce interviews and game-highlights packages. There are regular trips to show recordings, with backstage access to directors and other production team members (additional costs may apply, see course web page for details).

You’ll draw on the expertise of experienced lecturers, including accomplished BBC and ITV producers and directors. In addition, our technical staff are AVID certified trainers and you could gain AVID certification as part of the degree. You’ll learn in our dedicated TV studio, editing and grading suites and use industry-standard cameras and equipment. The course also benefits from accreditation with Creative Skillset, who work with the UK screen-based creative industries to develop skills and talent, and scored 97% for academic support in the National Student Survey 2024.

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.
