MA PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT FOR TV, FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA

SOPHIE (2021 GRADUATE) IS NOW A PRODUCTION MANAGER FOR STUDIO 68

“Whilst completing my MA in 2021, I was working as an intern at a small online media production company (Studio68). Because of my ability to apply media management knowledge to the studio, I was then kept on full-time as junior production manager, where I organised and coordinated some really exciting shoots with companies such as FIFA, FIVE: presented by Rio Ferdinand and Stretford Paddock FC match day content.

If it weren’t for the budgeting, scheduling, and overall media and risk awareness I learnt in this master’s, I don’t think I would be where I am now. I recently referred to some of the presentations from my first module for a reminder on Copyright and working in a hostile environment.”

CLAUDIA (2021 GRADUATE) IS NOW A PRODUCTION COORDINATOR FOR BBC SPORT

“Joining the University of Salford was the best choice for me coming from abroad. Its amazing location provided extra work opportunities by having a campus in the heart of MediaCity, which helped me have the job I have today. The fact that we have lecturers that are still part of the workforce brings us to live problems and situations that will better prepare us.”

FINLAY (2021 GRADUATE) IS NOW A PRODUCTION COORDINATOR FOR TRUE NORTH

“I’m currently a Production Coordinator at True North Productions working in factual TV. The MA was a great introduction to the world of Production Management, it taught me many of the processes and systems which I now use on a day-to-day basis.

The factual module especially was incredibly thorough in breaking down all the key elements that go into making a TV programme and making them easy to understand. Throughout the course I was able to develop a variety of production skills and draw on the expertise of people from across the industry.”

TOLULOPE (2022 GRADUATE) IS NOW A PRODUCTION SECRETARY FOR CHANNEL 4 SERIES Find

“I learned how the role of a project manager can be executed for the different types of productions. My favourite was Line Producing as I got to learn, for the first time, how to use Movie Magic programmes for budgeting and scheduling.

My current role is ‘Production Secretary’ for a brand new and exciting design TV show which will air on Channel 4, and in the next few months I hope to move up to a Junior production Coordinator role.”
