BA Film and Television Production
About this course
Film and television production is the practical art of making moving image content for cinema, broadcast and digital platforms. It covers the full production process, from script development and pre-production planning through directing, cinematography and production management to editing, sound design and post-production. In a media landscape where the volume and variety of content has never been greater, the demand for people who can produce it to a professional standard, efficiently and with creative skill, remains strong. At the University of Bedfordshire, you will develop the hands-on skills needed to work across film and television production, with access to the equipment and facilities that professional-level training requires. The programme runs for three years full time. Students from this course have gone on to work on major productions including James Bond: No Time to Die, Mission: Impossible, The Wheel, RuPaul's Drag Race, Doctor Who, 24-hour news stations and BT Sport, which gives a sense of the range of routes open to well-trained graduates from production-focused degrees. The typical entry tariff is 72 points, making the programme accessible to students who bring genuine passion and creative potential rather than requiring a conventional academic track record. You will develop practical skills in directing, camera operation, editing, scriptwriting, production management and the workflows that connect all of these functions within a professional production. Learning by making, by shooting, cutting and reviewing your own work, is central to how production skills develop. Graduates from film and television production programmes move into careers across the screen industries as production assistants, editors, camera operators, directors, producers, writers, and in a wide range of technical and logistical roles that keep productions running. The skills also transfer into digital content creation, corporate video, advertising, journalism and the broader creative industries. Some graduates continue to postgraduate study in film practice or screen production, and others build independent careers as filmmakers.
