About the course Media production is an exciting, social activity – a form of communication influenced by many factors: cultural, economic and political. Successful practitioners in this industry make powerful media products that communicate with their target audience through drama or documentary. On this successful course you will learn to make both, with the option to continue as a generalist or specialise in moving image, radio, new media or scriptwriting. Combined with theory and history of the media, it will give you the skills you need to join many of our previous graduates in UK or international media careers.
