The BBC is one of several broadcasters that has committed to significant investment in the North East film and TV industry over the next five years, and Teesside University is ideally placed to support your development within the heart of a growing and thriving broadcasting community.

You have access to industry-standard facilities including two working television studios, a fully operational radio station, digital film production equipment, grading and edit suites as well as access to the full range of software available through the Adobe Creative Suite. We also have our very own multimedia platform - TUXtra - which showcases content produced by students and volunteers across the university.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer our students the opportunity to work on live briefs from an impressive range of industry contacts, ensuring that you hone your skills within real-life environments, working alongside the likes of the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV Signpost. Supported by our dedicated technical staff, you’ll soon become familiar with a range of film-making disciplines while experiencing working as part of a media production team.

Benefit from the opportunities we can unlock with our external partners and clients, while all the time being supported and directed by a team of lecturers and experienced technicians with a wide range of practitioner experience across all sectors of the industry.

Film and Television Production students at Teesside University may also be eligible to apply for a range of scholarships, including our Franc Roddam scholarship and our Success Photography Scholarship.
