Overview

The Television programme from the University of the Arts London (UAL) combines industry intelligence (both intensive research and critical analysis) with programme production and development. Bringing a 360-degree perspective to the business of television, it is asked what it means, who it’s for, how it works and what it might become.

What to expect

With a focus on factual programmes, you’ll analyse and practice the craft of TV storytelling, exploring the genres and formats driving a global trade in television ideas.

You’ll explore different production values and techniques, working in teams to develop and produce TV shows while drawing on analysis of contemporary factual genres.

You’ll approach the practice of programme-making through complimentary, connected and direct exercises of creative imagination and project management across demands on time, resource, cost and quality.

You’ll be introduced to key issues around the production, use and consumption of factual TV programming through the Media Cultures strand. You’ll consider whether television holds a mirror up to - or indeed shapes - culture, identity and society.
