Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Broadcast Engineering

Formerly BSc (Hons) Digital Television Technology, this reputable and unique television broadcasting degree will allow students to master the art of technical broadcasting during live streaming and pre-recorded events, as well as gain a deep understanding of the TV industry and the principles of broadcast engineering. Digital opened the door to new ways of consuming streamed and on-demand content, including a multiverse of new channels. Broadcast now spans technologies ranging from radio wave transmission to internet-based streaming, virtual live production and more. There’s a wealth of opportunity for students to explore and conquer. This television and broadcasting degree enables students to develop the right skillset and professional mindset to work in technical engineering and operations within the sectors of live studio and outside broadcasting and streamed content. Students will explore both traditional areas such as digital and satellite transmission, streaming and live events, and evolving technologies such as virtual production, advances in video and audio (like UHD and Dolby), the emergence of AI and other developments in technology.

When students graduate with a BSc Hons degree in broadcast engineering, they will have developed first-class engineering skills gained through real-world technical and creative projects. Production students on large scale projects. Engineering students lead on the technical build, transmission and troubleshooting, and may take on key operational roles in camera and sound when its required. The course is taught through a mix of practice and theory-based learning that includes lectures, workshops, seminars, projects and self-directed study. Led by industry experts, students will develop an understanding of technical roles within television, technologies used in television and broadcasting, and fundamental principles of broadcast engineering.
