Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Media Production (PH10) (Placement Year)

This industry-focused course will help students develop a range of media production techniques across multiple platforms and engage with and reflect on developments in all aspects of the creative sector. Scholarship and critical thinking will underpin everything that students do while using the practical strands as a foundation for experimentation and professionalism.
