Media Production BA (Hons) at University of Sussex

At Sussex, you’ll become an accomplished media practitioner with transferable skills that are vital for working within the media and creative industries.

Combining theory and practice in sound, photography, animation, interactive media, documentary video and screenwriting, you will produce media works that challenge the status quo.

Taught by academics and practitioners, you will question the contents we make, how we make them, their potential meaning to audiences and their wider cultural, social and political implications. You get to use specialist facilities, including photographic and video studio, audio production and foley suites and pre- and post-production labs, which are available to you 24/7. A wide range of professional equipment is also available to students to borrow.

Brighton is one of the UK’s fastest growing hubs for digital and creative media – perfect for expanding your creativity, whilst offering work experience and career opportunities.

Your future career

At Sussex, you’re given the chance to develop further real-world skills outside the classroom. You can write for our student newspaper, or present a feature on our television channel or radio station.

You’ll learn how to use industry-standard software and equipment, and develop skills in video editing, photographic manipulation, digital design, animation, script writing and sound. Masterclasses by alumni and industry professionals prepare you for life after graduation. 

You’ll present your projects at degree exhibitions to help you build up a portfolio to show potential employers.
