About the FdA TV Production programme
According to the latest government figures, in 2013 there were approx. 1.6million students entering the media industry, which typically advertises around 100,000 roles each year. As the industry is mostly very insular, breaking into the industry is extremely hard for most graduates.

The FdA in TV Production has been developed to bridge the gap between academic studies and the entrepreneurial, technical and creative skills that the industry increasingly desires from graduates.

Course programme

Entry requirements Standard entry requirement for the degree will be 80 UCAS points, with a minimum of grade ‘C’ in both GCSE Maths & English. This equates to MMP at Btec National Diploma level, grades CCD at ‘A’ Level, and on the Diploma Foundation Studies (Art, Design & Media) this is equal to a Merit. However, in line with the widening participation brief and lifelong learning strategy, the Institute will also encourage applications from non-traditional learners who lack formal academic qualifications. All such non-traditional applicants will be interviewed, set an appropriate piece of work (an academic text and a practical task depending on their skill level) and a judgement made taking into account their academic potential and relevant experience.
