Overview
Film festivals, workshops, placements, industry networking, access to big organisations like the BBC… there are plenty of practical opportunities to build an impressive portfolio at Edge Hill. But studying Film, Media or Television is about more than that. You’ll develop intellectual and critical thinking skills and learn how your knowledge fits in with the creative process. From researching a topic for your dissertation to adopting industry production practices, you’ll learn what it takes to make it in this fast-paced field.
- You won’t just learn in the lecture theatre. These are also practical courses, and you’ll work on real client briefs. You’ll spend plenty of time in and out of the studios making things, mastering the industry-standard technology, learning about this business from the inside.
- Lecturers have worked in the industry and know what it takes to make it. They’ve published research on everything from The Muppets to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And they regularly invite their contacts to campus so you can meet the pros.
- Just like film, media and television crews in the outside world, we’re a very communal and supportive department. You’ll have lots of contact time with your tutors, including regular one-to-one sessions.
