Television is the classic medium of our age. Nothing else has shaped our culture, our politics, our everyday life as much as TV – from the living room and boxsets to smartphone streaming and YouTube clips.
You’ll learn how to make TV shows, to understand the contexts and ways in which today’s television is made and distributed, and critically analyse television and its impact to help inform your own creative work.
We’ll educate you as a thinker, maker and creator ready to take your place working in the television of tomorrow, and develop the creative, analytical and technical skills you’ll need to thrive in the screen industries.
