Shaped by industry, the University of Bolton’s BA (Hons) Film and Television Production undergraduate degree will help you become the "set ready" graduate the media industry requires. It’s practice-based, with imagination and story-telling at its heart. Our expert team will support you as you learn to develop imaginative and diverse stories that resonate with audiences and build a portfolio that showcases your skills and creative voice.The television and film industries are thriving, with Greater Manchester and the North West as key powerhouses outside London. From landing an entry-level job to strategising your future career progression, the University of Bolton’s BA (Hons) Film and Television Production course prepares you for a career in this exciting sector, whatever your specialism or ambition.With a love of storytelling at its heart, this practice-based, industry-shaped course teaches the creative, business and technical skills of the television and film industries, and, crucially, how those skills interact to create work that connects with audiences. By creating and making short-form productions you’ll develop ideas and stories, learn industry production and post-production skills and processes, and be inspired and challenged to question how, why, and what you make. Grounded in critical thinking, our creative environment empowers you to question and explore the world around you and to feed this into your creative work.Initially, the course focuses on the foundations: technical skills, scriptwriting know-how, understanding of the industry, and the use of cinematic language. As you progress, we’ll immerse you in real-life industry simulations of a production company and set, where you’ll perform key roles, and learn in-demand skillsets, software packages and processes as you create, make and market your own TV show. In the final year, you‘ll bring all your skills together to create a major project designed to make you shine, whatever your specialism. You’ll also undertake an industry placement and create an employment strategy using your major project as a calling card.In a nutshell, the course delivers the creative, technical, and business skills you need to build a portfolio that showcases you and your unique voice. Our focus is on helping you gain the skills and knowledge necessary to progress in the media industry as an employee, become self-employed, or create your own production company.
