creative arts course
Course Overview
At The BRIT School we are passionate about all things media. The quality of British
film, TV and radio production is highly regarded worldwide and they make a key
contribution to the UK economy whilst at the same time adding to this country’s cultural
richness. Within these industries there is a wide range of potential careers, from the
creative, to the technical, and potential management roles. The skills that you will learn
on our courses will prepare you for your first steps in an exciting and vibrant sector.
Student Experience What Qualities do I need?
The UAL Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production
course has been designed to reflect both the film and
broadcast industries. Using industry standard hardware,
including a range of cameras and our own TV and
Radio Studio, you will complete a wide range of industry-
related projects, including music videos, short films,
documentaries, and advertisements. Alongside this you
will collaborate on live broadcasts covering both TV and
radio. Underpinning these practical projects are more
theory-based assignments that cover subjects such as
scriptwriting, film studies and industry related topics. We are interested in students who possess and can
demonstrate a passion in at least one area of media,
whether it is the adrenaline rush of live broadcast or the
painstaking process of crafting a film or documentary.
It is essential that you are enthusiastic and can
demonstrate both commitment and the ability to work
as part of a team. If you are applying to join the Post
16 course you will need to bring a portfolio or showreel
to the interview that showcases your dedication and
experience in at least one area of media.
Our students have undertaken placements on a range of
productions, from feature films to advertisements and radio.
You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a number of
exciting projects covering filmmaking and live broadcast.
BRIT Live is the department’s very own magazine style
show that is broadcast monthly via YouTube and our
in-house radio station BRIT FM is broadcast live online
in the summer. We celebrate the success of all of our
students through the department’s annual award
showcase ‘The Obies’ held at the BFI Southbank.
