Film and Television Production

Our Film and Television Production BA is a practice-based course taught by experienced screen professionals and media theorists, combining hands-on production skills with critical and creative insight into the global screen environment.

The course explores how screen stories are conceived, produced, commissioned and distributed across film, television and online platforms. Working within a digital and sustainable production workflow, you’ll gain experience in single-camera filmmaking, multi-camera studio production and a wide range of genres – from documentary, drama and factual entertainment to short film, branded content and emerging online formats.

You’ll develop practical skills in camera, lighting, sound, editing, producing and directing, while deepening your understanding of the fast-changing screen industries, their audiences and global contexts. Alongside this, you’ll study the histories, technologies and creative influences that shape contemporary film and television, helping you become an adaptable, reflective practitioner with strong storytelling abilities.

Designed to prepare you for a multi-skilled, mixed‑portfolio career, the course is recognised by ScreenSkills and supports you to build a strong professional network. Our London location places you close to major broadcasters, production companies and creative agencies, and students regularly gain experience within the media industry. Previous examples have included opportunities with the BBC, ITV, Sky, Disney, independent film and TV companies, and online media producers.

With opportunities for live projects, work-based learning, and optional placement or international study years, you’ll graduate with the creative, technical and professional skills needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving screen industries.
