BA (Hons) Media Production

About your course This BA (Hons) Media Production degree at Liverpool John Moores University is next generation focused. The course is a creative industries training ground with an emphasis on both the traditional craft skills and studio models as well as the emerging crafts of mixed realities. We are a hands-on, active learning programme.

We show, then you do. You will use various hardware and software solutions in response to the creative, theoretical, and critical challenges set. You will learn the traditional preproduction, production and postproduction skills of Moving Image and Audio Fiction and Non-fiction shorts.

You will also explore Audio podcasting and live environments. You have the option of a TV Studio project in your second year, culminating in a live broadcast of a show you develop from scratch with your team. The newest strand of the design champions Digital Workflows and explores areas such as Immersive/Interactive storytelling, 360, VR and AR.

Virtual Production is moving fast, and we invite you to join us in exploring the foundations and new craft skills required to be successful in this field. In your final year, the Digital Disruption module invites you to take all the hardware and software craft skills you have developed and to break the rules - a digital sandbox to innovate and inspire. This is a programme carefully designed by our students in collaboration with the delivery team and industry professionals.

There is a new storytelling, marketing, development, and distribution strand that will help you understand how to capitalise on your creativity and turn passions in to a living. Students were quite passionate in the redesign asking, How do we sell ourselves?. This lead to the inclusion of the Digital Marketing, development and Distribution modules on the programme to strengthen the graduate toolkit.

Our industry strand ensures you graduate with the key tools to gain employment along with your degree. That being a CV, showreel and online presence. This is an exciting, rewarding industry but it is hard work and requires you to show up and put the energy in.

If you do this, it will be a transformative experience culminating in your final major project. A calling card to industry that we can all to be proud of. We look forward to helping you set out on your lifelong journey in the Creative Industries.
