ObjectivesThis degree gives you the opportunity to combine the study of Television with the study of English. You will split your time evenly between the two departments, choosing from a range of core and optional courses that will follow a similar pattern to that outlined below. Throughout your course you will explore critical ideas in Television in practice, using our TV studio, video and editing equipment.
Entry requirementsThere are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
