For Combined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
Students work towards specific projects in Year 1 to ensure an understanding of media production methods and their theoretical underpinning. Year 2 allows students to begin to specialise within groups and includes modules which examine different media forms and the relationship between them. The Multimedia Project reflects the convergence of technologies found in the contemporary industry by asking students to create a project of their choice in one medium and produce supporting, promotional material in two other media. The Masterclass module invites industry professionals to visit to take a class on a particular aspect of production which is then explored through project work. Optional modules include opportunities to learn gallery skills. Year 3 allows for more individual student-led learning.
Facilities
The Multimedia Centre operates a rolling programme of upgrading to ensure it reflects current professional practice. The centre includes a newly refurbished purpose-built industry standard HD TV studio, a newsroom, a computerised radio studio and facilities for multi-track audio recording. Video editing is available in different formats including Final Cut Pro (version 7 and ‘X’) and Premiere Pro (CS5). The Multimedia Centre is open 24 hours a day and students are encouraged to use the facilities for their own projects as well as coursework.
