Media (Top-Up)

If you have already completed two years of diploma study, this course offers the opportunity to ‘top up’ your qualifications to degree level.

On this course we aim to develop your media skills across a range of platforms, including photography, television, film and visual communications. We will help you to understand the process of practical work, the theories that inform your work and the community of practice with which you will engage.

Coventry University is ranked 5th for Media and Film Studies, and joint 11th for Career Prospects in Media and Film Studies, by the Guardian University Guide 2024.

Key Course Benefits

* This is a third-year top-up course so you will have the opportunity to develop your existing skills, knowledge, and understanding in order to produce a professional portfolio that represents who you are as a creative media practitioner. You will produce a number of pieces of work and one final major project which brings these skills together, thus developing a portfolio of work that you can use when looking for work after graduation. In recent years our students have visited the Hong Kong Design Institute and worked with students there to create a pop-up degree show*.

* You will have access to dedicated media spaces, edit suites and industry-focused radio, photography and television studios.

* You will have access to industry-standard professional equipment via our Media Loan Shop, including prosumer media equipment (i.e. 4K and HD video cameras, DSLR cameras, tripods, audio equipment, lighting – Canon, JVC, Sony).
