Typical Work:

The awarding body, University of Arts London, strongly urges a constant sense of self-guidance and independent work throughout the course. Students will need to generate creative ideas, experiment further with them and ultimately create a portfolio of work demonstrating all the necessary skills. This will include a variety of research and practical skills centred on the industries of Film & TV, Games Development and Music Production.

A large part of the qualification is focused on the student being able to communicate their ideas and show self-reflection and evaluation as well as a critical understanding of the practices they are developing. They will write, record and present their ideas to build their confidence and showcase ideas.
