Television Production with Foundation Year BA (Hons)

Our course is one of the most established and well-esteemed Television Production programmes in the UK and has developed close links with the factual and entertainment TV industries. We are proud to say our graduates are now working on the some of the top programmes and films in the UK and US.

This is a highly practical course which covers a broad area of television production. You will be hands-on in our multi-camera TV studio and on location using a variety of camera, sound and lighting equipment. You will also be taught the post production process and will be encouraged to develop, produce and screen your own programming as part of your learning at Bedfordshire. At the end of your three years, you will be multi-skilled, industry-ready practitioners.

Employability is a core feature of this course. It is our job to help you break into TV and we will help you to develop industry links and find paid work or internships during your time with us.

Our course will give you a solid grounding in all aspects of TV production; from producing to production management, from camerawork to editing. You will be taught by lecturers who have been working at the highest level in the television industry and with their help you will make your own industry contacts and start to make your first steps into the television industry while studying on the course.

You will have access to thousands of pounds worth of high-end production kit including cameras, lights, sound recorders, rigs, edit suites, O.B. kit and, of course, our multi-camera TV studio. Aside from assignment production work, you will also get the opportunity to produce and broadcast your own programming online and on social-media via our in-house TV station BedsTV.
