The course provides a broad-based training; combining theatre production skills with television and radio drama experience; the initial two term foundation in theatre production is common to both three and two year course students; BA students then widen their training experience by being involved in theatre productions and television and radio drama recordings during the next four terms; for the final three terms students specialise more on specific areas of work to provide them with the appropriate set of production skills to embark on their chosen career; a placement with a professional organisation is an integral part of this final year enabling students to match their career aspirations to the practical reality of a professional environment.
