BA (Hons) Television and Radio Production
All the way through this programme, you will have the opportunity to make your own programmes and films or podcasts, radio shows, studio shows, dramas or documentaries. The three years of content production lead up to a final major project: either an ambitious production that can be your calling card for industry or a media theory dissertation for those wishing to pursue the more academic route.
The first year provides all out students with a thorough grounding in television and radio production, and developing content ideas for broadcast, with the skills necessary to take these ideas into production. Alongside this students develop their appreciation of the forms of TV and Radio and the ways that we analyse broadcast content and how the contexts of production shape what we watch and listen to.
In the second and third years of the degree programme you get to choose your own pathway, either focussing on Radio, or TV, or a mixture of both. There is a wide range of options available to you that include studio and location production, factual and fiction content, and the necessary production craft skills including, camera and lighting, creative audio, and editing. We offer options in scriptwriting, production management, TV Studio, Radio Studio, TV Drama, Radio Drama, Documentary practice for both radio and TV. The full range of options can be seen here. Alongside this, in your second year, you will also undertake professional practice, which introduces you to the world of professional work and affords you the opportunity to connect with employers and begin to build your network of contacts.
Both in your second and third year there are also options in the theory modules with which to develop your knowledge and academic skills in relation to a particular topic or subject relevant to your programme of study. You can explore subjects such as contemporary American TV Dramas; survey the range of television genres, radio culture, British drama, and documentary. In these modules you will develop your written and research skills and develop your presenting skills whilst also developing your knowledge and understanding of TV and Radio.
The final year of the degree gives you the opportunity to take your skills and passions to the next level, whether this is in Advanced Camera and Lighting and creative documentary practice, or radio podcasting, radio studio production, or Advanced editing. The third year provides you with the chance to really succeed in your chosen craft and at the things you love doing most. This is in preparation for the final major project, which will occupy you for your final semester on the degree. The Final Project is your chance to show-off all the skills and knowledge you have developed during your time on the degree, and make the TV or radio studio programme, TV or radio documentary, TV drama or radio drama that will showcase your talents to the world and future employers once you graduate.
