Course Overview

According to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) the UK’s creative industries sector added œ109billion to the economy in 2021 and accounted for 2.29 million industry jobs that year. The workplace could be a broadcast or operations centre as part of TV/radio studio operations, on a film or television set, at client premises or a location shoot, working on site in live events venues, or home or office based as part of a content creation agency.
