Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: W610

Here's what Edge Hill University says about its Film & Broadcast Production course.

Develop your ideas as a digital content creator. Unlock career opportunities with this dynamic production degree. Boost your practical skills and knowledge with live briefs, practical projects and research across a range of film and broadcast platforms.

If you imagine yourself working in the creative industries, our Film and Broadcast Production degree is perfect for you. You’ll be the sort of person that gets involved at all levels of media interaction – watching, listening, making and analysing.

Get comfortable behind the camera, confident in the editing suite and chatty in front of the podcast mic. Producing digital content across a range of platforms, you’ll put your creativity to the test. At the same time, we’ll help you explore creative practice, looking at popular productions from the past and present.

We think it’s important you shape your own studies. That’s why we give you a choice between theoretical and practical modules. For example, Short Films for Curious Minds gives you the chance to produce content for a final year solo project.

Digital literacy, practical know-how and transferable skills like critical thinking are key for your career. But, in the ever-changing world of film and broadcast production, you also need to stand out. That’s why we’ll focus on helping you find your unique voice. How will you make your mark?

The SU website is very confusing.

Campus is always clean and tidy, it feels quite safe. The SU club is enjoyable and fun to go on a night out. Ormskirk has a lot to offer in terms of fun and activities.

2nd year student

Accommodation costs are ridiculous, the rooms are very small. I have contacted finance support and they were very rude to me because I had spent my entire student loan. The shop is way too expensive for groceries.

Inclusion helped me when I needed extra support during a difficult time at uni.

The gym is really accessible, it is a good price. The library is very big so you can always get a spot, it is always clean and a nice environment.

It is very interesting. The teachers take time to get to know you and teach you the course content. They give feedback on all essays and you can meet with them to discuss feedback and how to improve.
