Honours Degree 1 Year Top Up
This course covers a broad spectrum of media theories and skills from screen production, radio production, animation and multimedia.
The BA Single Honours (top-up) gives you the opportunity to top-up your existing qualification to a full BA honours degree through final year entry; it is aimed at international students currently studying on a Foundation Degree or a Higher Education Diploma overseas. International students will study in classes with home students pursuing their BA (Hons) degrees.
Delivery of this course will be via both theory and practical based concepts. Theory modules will be delivered through a mix of lectures and active workshop-style seminars, modules in the production area will be taught in well-equipped computer suites allowing hands-on learning and practical classes will be delivered in professional purpose built studios.
The course culminates in a dissertation or optional practical project which will reflect your learning and relate to your professional practice.
After graduation students have the opportunity to enter the media production industry armed with the practical skills and knowledge they have learnt, or to progress on to a suite of masters courses available at the university.
