BA Hons Film and Television Production

at Teesside University

In Year 1, you embark on a personal and professional journey, developing research and technical skills, critical analysis, reflective evaluation, professional development and peer assessment.

In Year 2, you work on more ambitious and larger-scale productions. You develop independent learning skills by critically engaging with research at a much deeper level to appraise and analyse the wider media landscape.

Year 3 is led by development of a body of major work project. Alongside significant artistic and technical challenges, you prepare for the professional world by working to industry set and standard briefs and develop your professional portfolio. You are actively encouraged to take advantage of industry placements.

Please note module titles may be subject to change.
