Technology runs through all aspects of learning and if you choose practice-based modules you will have access to facilities including broadcast-quality camera equipment, AVID edit suites and screening rooms. The eLearning Portal provides access to programme and module information, such as class materials, handbooks, electronic discussion boards and supplementary materials (e.g. weblinks, news items) to support and extend the material that is delivered during lectures. We also subscribe to streaming archival services (Box of Broadcasts, Screenonline), which provide resources for further study. The 24/7 University Library achieves some of the highest levels of student satisfaction in the UK and has held the Cabinet Office accreditation for Customer Service Excellence since 2010. The academic team include media industry professionals with backgrounds including journalism and TV production as well as experts in film analysis, British cinema and horror. Guided and supported by the team you will explore the historical and social context of cinema and television whilst developing your practical production skills. You will benefit from guest lectures and presentations from those working in areas such as film festivals, moving-image education and film programming. The combination of a skilled teaching team, excellent facilities and partnerships with organisations such as the Tyneside Cinema keeps the course current and relevant to industry.
