Television & Film Production with Integrated Foundation Year Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Develop your skills by entering the creative industries on an Integrated Foundation Year degree.

If you’re interested in taking on a new subject that you’ve not had the opportunity to study in depth before, or have been out of education for a while, then our Integrated Foundation Year courses might be for you. These four-year courses include an introductory year to help you build the core skills needed for specialist degree-level study.

This is a chance for you to let your imagination run wild and explore your creativity, expand your professional skills and develop enhanced subject knowledge in the domain you want to study. We’ll help nurture your expertise in problem solving, risk-taking, designing and making as you develop your abilities through five core modules.

After your foundation year, you’ll have a deeper knowledge of your subject, a clear understanding of your strengths, a developed practical and technical skill set and the confidence to excel in your chosen degree subject when you join other students for the rest of your course.

Develop your unique craft in storytelling through television and short film production.

Develop your authentic voice through moving-image storytelling, whether you aspire to create high-end drama with full-scale crews, meaningful documentaries, music videos, commercials or new forms of content – investing in the story and understanding why you’re telling it. You’ll learn by doing, gaining hands-on experience in areas including cinematography (camera and lighting), producing, directing and sound. You’ll build expertise in scriptwriting for short film and TV serial drama, editing, analysis and critical thinking, empowering you to create work that is artistically and technically inventive.
