TV and broadcasting

Working in television and broadcasting certainly may sound glamorous, but in reality it can be long hours, working away from home for long periods of time and depending on what your role is there can be lots of waiting around. Having said that it can be hugely challenging and rewarding – you could find yourself working on the Formula One, X Factor, or even the Premiership Football!

You must be responsible, creative and committed, and you will be working in an industry that is under constant watch from the public eye. If you’re up for the challenge this industry brings, then Ravensbourne could be for you.

From broadcast engineer to editor to camera operator to sound designer to scriptwriter to producer and director, as we say: the full spectrum.
