About Screen Media Industries in University of Salford

The viewing of screen-based media content – from Disney blockbusters to BBC documentaries, from high budget Netflix drama series to comedy shorts on YouTube – is central to the lives of many. Screen media industries – including film, television and video streaming companies – create this content and make it available to us via the screens of cinemas, living rooms, phones and tablets. As part of this programme, you will gain understanding into how the culturally and financially significant sectors of film, television and video streaming operate and impact upon economies and societies. You will gain abilities to explore and analyse these industries yourself, developing your own original research as part of your learning experience.

You will be taught by academic experts who have published widely on film, television and video streaming industries, and who will bring their experience and expertise into the classroom. You will have the opportunity to engage with screen media industries as part of assessments and learning activities and through attending guest lectures led by industry practitioners. You will be based in MediaCityUK, surrounded by a wide range of television and online video production companies with which you will have the opportunity to interact as part of your learning.
