Overview Television and radio are no longer just boxes in the corner of the room, but rather dynamic forms that operate across media platforms in an industry that is currently seeing unprecedented growth. As a consequence, digital and media literacy has never been more important to society. The BA Broadcast Production is a pioneering programme, which will prepare students for contemporary content and programme making in television, radio, journalism, and other new and emerging digital media platforms, as well as developing their understanding of the broadcasting landscape. Why Queen's?The programme uses state-of-the-art digital production facilities; students will have access to a television studio with full broadcast-quality LED lighting using electrically-controlled hoists and green screen; we have both off-line and on-line editing suites, utilising software such as Avid Media Composer, DaVinchi Resolve, Nuke for VFX Compositing and Pro Tools. Full high-definition cameras are available, as are substantial lighting and grip kits for location work. Additionally, we are an Authorised Avid Learning Partner for Pro Tools and Media Composer, offering certified industry-approved training integrated into the degree. Significant work placements will be available on this programme. A number of television production companies and community based radio stations have already indicated their willingness to be involved and support for the introduction of this degree. In addition, discussions are ongoing with Northern Ireland Screen and the BBC about what role they might have in future placements. Share this course Share
