Hello Becky, I hope your're doing well. I just saw your post after 14 years. I have the same question. Can you please assist me in this? I hope your've been graduated and living a good life :smile:
Hello there,

I hope you are doing well.

We do a few courses at the University of Salford that are similar to a Media Production course.

Firstly we have our BA (Hons) Film Production course - this course is about learning to tell engaging stories through filmmaking. You will make and edit short films using high-end camera and editing at our state-of-the-art campus situated in the heart of MediaCity, the country’s biggest creative media cluster. You’ll develop key filmmaking skills including directing, producing and editing, as well as writing for screen, sound design, cinematography and production design. You will also learn key theories in film analysis which will help inform, inspire and contextualise your creative output. You can find out more by via this link.

We also have our BA (Hons) Television and Radio degree, you’ll learn how to find great stories, develop your ideas, pitch and present those ideas, write scripts, research, pre-produce and produce your ideas whether this is for radio or TV, or another audio or video platform. There will be an opportunity to take on real-world briefs from industry as part of the course. You can develop your craft skills in camera and lighting, studio production, editing, creative audio or the skills necessary to manage productions. You can also delve into the theory, where you critically underpin practice with academic rigour. You can find out more via this second link.

On top of this I would recommend attending an Open Day, you can find out more about how to book onto our open days by clicking here.

I do hope this helps you and all the best with making your decision.
