**About the course**
At Sussex, you’ll become an accomplished media practitioner with transferable skills that are vital for working within the modern media industry.
Combining theory and practice in sound, photography, animation, interactive media, documentary video and screenwriting, you will produce media works that challenge the status quo.
Taught by academics and practitioners, you will question the contents we make, how we make them, their potential meaning to audiences and their wider cultural, social and political implications. You get to use specialist facilities, including photographic and video studio, audio production and foley suites and pre- and post-production labs, which are available to you 24/7. A wide range of professional equipment is also available to students to borrow.
Brighton is one of the UK’s fastest growing hubs for digital and creative media – perfect for expanding your creativity, whilst offering work experience and career opportunities. See a showcase of our students' final-year projects.
