Designed to develop the skills required for the ever-changing, fast-developing new media landscape, this exciting course fosters individuality, confidence and creativity.

• You will have the option to apply for a ‘professional experience’ opportunity2, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See the ‘Modules’ section for more information.
• You will experiment and develop new forms that take account of the analogue world and new digital tools that, when placed together, infer possibilities that are innovative, raise questions and have impact.
• You have the opportunity2 to join our community of critical thinkers and makers, taught by staff who are themselves film-makers, authors and artists, who continually challenge traditional and emergent practices in their own work (staff may be subject to change).

 

Why you should study this course

The course places emphasis on experiential learning and offers a creative space in which experimental and innovative ways of working can be accommodated. It is based on critical practice and invites you to respond to the problems of media production now and how it has been shaped by key historical practitioners.

• All student work is outward-facing; productions from every semester are shown publicly using our state-of-the-art media base at The Tank.
• These regular screenings and actions ensure real-life public reaction to the work produced that in turn, influences practice in progress.
• You will have the chance to access professional equipment4 via our dedicated Media Loan Shop and studios. The Media Loan Shop has state-of-the-art equipment including GoPro camera kits, Canon and Nikon photographic and video cameras (inc. DSLR), Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K EF camera collection Edirol recorders, and a range of photographic lenses, lighting and filters.
