• Objectives
  This 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 requirements
  There 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.
