What job can I get?
Graduates initially go on to become runners, junior researchers, assistant producers, assistant directors, editors and camera assistants, and freelancers. Thereafter, they may expect to progress all the way up to senior roles such as producer, director, senior editor, head of department. Our graduates gain employment in both production and post, and in TV and film, as well as digital and film marketing, web content creation and online video production.

Work Placement
There is a work experience module that you can complete. The course has a dedicated Professional Development expert to help marry up students with work experience opportunities. In the second year or final year of study, you may substitute coursework for accredited work experience; and the course also offers a sandwich year for an industrial placement.

Throughout the academic year, the course often is approached to engage and work on live projects, and students are given the opportunity to crew and be involved in working on productions for real clients. Recent examples include working on a documentary for Sky Arts, cinematography for a series of live music records for a classical ensemble, and filming for an evening at Elstree Studios with Dame Diana Rigg.

Studying on the Film and Television degree at Hertfordshire also offers you the unique opportunity to gain accredited work experience on our own ongoing live research activity - The Elstree Project.  

Since the project began in 2010, over 60 students have been crew members on interview shoots with veterans from the film and television industry at the studios of Elstree and Borehamwood. Some of the stories our students have heard first-hand include what it was like to operate the film camera for Star Wars, design props for Stanley Kubrick, and floor manage The Muppet Show, all while getting the opportunity to further their practical filmmaking skills.  

Our interviewees include Steven Spielberg, Walter Murch, Simon Pegg, Christiane Kubrick and Brian Blessed. Trips to the studios are a regular part of the project, and the work forms part of a vitally important archive.
