Integrated Foundation with Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Media Production

A four year route opening with a foundation year, covering technical and creative fundamentals before three years of media production at degree level.

Media production is a craft learned by doing, and the foundation year provides an extra year of camera, editing and sound practice.

Integrated Foundation with Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Media Production is taught at the Birmingham City University, a UK university with degree awarding powers.

One limit applies to the media production foundation route as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the media production foundation route cannot support a family move.
