This course has been designed and developed by universities, employers and industry specialists in order to provide learners with the knowledge, understanding and skills that they will need to pursue a job in the creative media industries. Students will develop professional and social skills through interaction with performers, clients and peers; as well as theoretical and technical knowledge and understanding to underpin these skills. This will allow creativity and flair to be harnessed in the design and production of media products used within the industry.

Students will develop conceptual ideas, and visualise these all the way through the production cycle; from planning and pre-production right through to editing, post production and presentation of products. Students will also learn how to analyse target audience requirements, research market demand and bring a media concept alive, working in line with legal and regulatory requirements, in a safe and effective way, protecting themselves and those they're working with from injury or harm.
