Course Overview

Designing for Film, Television, and Stage is an exciting prospect for anyone with a passion for making stories come to life. At the University of Salford, we work closely with the Film, Television and Stage industry and are the only university to have a campus at MediaCity, home of the BBC and ITV. You’ll study in the heart of Greater Manchester, the north west cultural centre of the UK.

On our Film, TV and Stage Design degree you’ll design right from the start, develop ideas through models and visuals, and learn critical industry-standard technical drawing processes. You'll also experiment with materials and 3D form in our well-equipped workshops and learn alongside like-minded creatives in a collaborative studio environment.

One of our recent graduates, Grace Harrison, went straight from university to working at CBBC, Ninja Warrior UK, and with productions in London.

You will:

  • Develop a broad range of skills and knowledge in scenic and set design for live and filmed production

  • Learn to interpret scripts and develop settings that effectively reflect stories and themes

  • Gain the experience to produce three-dimensional scale models and props to test and communicate concepts

  • Put your skills to the test responding to real-world briefs and work placement opportunities
