Film, Radio and Television Studies, BA - 2016/17

This specialist media programme aims to enable students to understand, appreciate and participate in the media as a means of communication and creative expression. The programme offers an opportunity to develop and practise production skills in each of the three media, and to become familiar with appropriate critical and theoretical perspectives. The guiding philosophy of our programme is the integration of theory and practice where the emphasis is placed on understanding how the media functions institutionally and creatively. The programme is located within the specialist production facilities of the Powell building on the Canterbury Campus, providing access to a wide range of production kit including a large well-equipped TV studio, digital video production equipment, 16mm film cameras, digital video editing systems, High Definition video and four digital and sound studios. The Department has formed links with both local and national radio, film and television companies. The programme’s Industry Advisory Panel is made up of industry professionals who offer advice, guidance and support to current students. The programme has been running successfully for 30 years and can draw on a wealth of talent from former students and industry contacts working at all levels of the media industries for guest lectures, workshops and master-classes.
