Film and Tv HND

This course begins at Level 4 and is a natural progression route for students that have previously studied creative media, but students can successfully study this course without prior knowledge of the subject. <br/><br/>It has been created to provide you with a strong foundation of the necessary disciplines, skills and techniques to work in the TV and Film industry in the first year.
