Learn from industry experts in professional-grade facilities, and join our internationally successful graduates at the BBC, Sky, Disney and beyond.With its unique blend of creative practice and critical studies, Solent’s highly regarded film and television undergraduate degree equips you with the production experience, creative skills and critical thinking necessary to help you understand the global film and television industries – as well as your place within it.This course is a great choice for students who aspire to work in, or alongside, the film and television industries – providing you with the necessary training and education to ensure that you are ready for the ever-evolving world of film and television production, distribution and exhibition.And our Foundation Year in Media provides you with the opportunity to develop technical, creative and academic skills across a range of media platforms including graphic design, video production, digital photography and blogging, helping you situate your own media production within established traditions and styles whilst beginning to identify your own storytelling voice and signature style.After completion of the foundation year, you will go to study the three year undergraduate degree. During the first year of the degree, you will study modules that address the building blocks of screen language, genre analysis, screenwriting and production management, working on individual projects as well as collaborating in groups to make short films and television content.In the second year of the degree, you will interrogate the relationship between representation and identity through screen criticism and in practice, across fiction and documentary, looking at the role of audiences in film and television consumption and considering creative approaches to short film design.During the final year, you will explore career pathways with modules designed to focus on enhancing employability and transferable skills as well as the evolving globalised nature of production, distribution and exhibition practices. These modules will be accompanied by one-to-one supervision of your final year project.Throughout your studies you will have access to the University’s media academy, featuring cutting-edge production equipment, studio facilities and edit suites.
