DEGREE INFO:
This programme is designed to give students the specialised and vocational skills required to work in this dynamic area of the film and photographic industries. Students will be introduced to the core production and postproduction skills required to produce adventure-based film and media content. There will be a number of expeditions and projects, in addition to formal classes, which will allow students to experience working in a range of environments and areas.
As part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (which has campuses all over the UK), the course collaborates with another amazing course based in Carmarthen, BA Outdoor Adventure Education, to provide a variety of experiences. Throughout the degree there is input from professionals working in documentary filmmaking, photography, television, and social media, as well as core outdoor activity skills.
Level 3 First Aid in The Outdoors and RSSL Level Water Safety Management qualifications are also offered as part of the programme. Engagement with industry is embedded in all aspects of our course. This can take the form of work placements, projects for external clients, modules focused on developing your employability, or engaging with the many experts from industry who will be offering their expertise in workshops and guest lectures.
These can range from extreme sports and motorsports to wildlife filming, landscape and coastal filming, and aerial filming. As students progress, they can specialise in the area of their choice; by the final year, students can work on an individual major project in their chosen field, with expert input from leading practitioners. There is also the opportunity to work on a client project set by major companies within the industry.
