The Live TV and Studio Broadcast course was a fantastic opportunity to gain professional skills. I learned a lot, there were interesting lecturers who were great professionals working in the industry and excellent facilities and equipment. I hope to work with live TV in a studio with this course.
Whether you like fashion, interiors, fine art, or even photography, I got the opportunity to find out what I love and what I dislike. The certificate is a perfect stepping stone as you have the option to finish with a level 6 or advance to a level 7 or 8 in whichever field you desire.
When I look back at the year I can hardly believe the difference in the way I approach and execute any photographic task, either Digitally or Film, all thanks to the skill set I’ve gained over the last academic year.
I originally only signed up for the Cert but have enjoyed the experience so much that am now going to continue to the 2nd year of the BA in Photographic Media
