The foundation in media production programme is a broad-based course focused on the production process and theoretical frameworks. Students will study practical units such as digital design, making sound and images, film-making and experimental production, combined with units ensuring understanding of media theory and research, digital cultures and future digital production.

Producing media is an exciting, up-to-the-minute form of social communication, strongly influenced by cultural, economic and political factors. To create innovative, effective communications across a range of platforms, one must be able to combine media theory with practical production skills. This course will allow you to develop transferable skills in media, communication and problem-solving. 

The Foundation Year in Media is taught via a blended approach through online seminars, webinars, virtual lectures and uses student interaction and co-creation to learn new material. Collaborative online tools for creative media production are at the core of our teaching giving students the opportunity to practice together what they have learned during synchronous online activities. At the core of our approach to online learning and teaching is student interaction. In all our programmes, students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and complete classwork using online collaborative tools.
