Core production skills training
Students experience realistic, hands-on production days in the Radio suite.
You will be taught core production skills to get stories on air. Most important of all, we will develop your skills in finding stories, judging them and presenting them in the most effective manner.
All of this takes place in a highly realistic broadcast newsroom, with digital desktop editing facilities.
Students also work in the TV news studio, its control room and editing gallery, and in the radio suite, which combines a studio and two news booths.
During the Easter period, you will go on work attachment to a UK broadcaster.
Practical work includes the coverage of live events, such as the National Assembly for Wales, courts, council meetings, press conferences, sports and entertainment events and other news stories.
Students are expected to generate their own stories during the course and to learn to construct their own radio and television features.
