Course overview

You work on live briefs from industry contacts including BBC, Channel 4 and ITV Signpost, ensuring that you hone your skills within real-life environments. Supported by our dedicated technical staff, you become familiar with a range of filmmaking disciplines, experiencing working as part of a media production team. Throughout your studies you create a range of work, broadcasting it through TUXtra and exploring the industry to find exactly where your skills fit.
