Course summary

Are you excited by the world of television production, content creation and the exciting and constantly evolving world of creative digital media?

Do you want a career working for streaming platforms, broadcasters, brands, television, and digital media production companies?

The Digital Media Production degree is developed with industry experts, to help you build your understanding of Digital Media Production and develop the creative and technical skills you’ll need to thrive in the creative industries.

This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree.

This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting.

The Foundation Year in Arts and Communication will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study.

Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our Digital Media Production BA (Hons) degree.
