Digital Media Production
Digital media production is the discipline concerned with creating content for digital platforms, audiences, and channels. It encompasses video production, audio and podcast creation, web and multimedia design, commercial radio, and the broader craft of storytelling in digital environments. As consumption of media has shifted decisively towards screens, streaming, and social platforms, the professionals who understand how to create compelling content for those environments, and how to distribute and grow audiences across them, are among the most sought-after in the creative industries.
At Westminster this three-year full-time programme is built around practical media making, preparing you directly for the media production and communications roles that the industry needs. You will develop skills in video and audio production, web design and multimedia, content strategy, and the specific demands of commercial radio alongside broader audio storytelling. The programme is designed with the changing nature of the media landscape in mind, ensuring that what you learn reflects current and emerging industry practice rather than historical models.
A sandwich year is built into the programme alongside a year abroad, and work placement experience is embedded throughout. This combination means you can develop professional skills in real media settings, build an industry network, and broaden your perspective through international study, all before you complete your degree.
Graduates move into roles as content producers, digital journalists, podcast producers, video editors, web and social media content creators, commercial radio presenters and producers, and communications professionals across the public, private, and voluntary sectors. Westminster's London location provides exceptional access to the UK's media industry, and many graduates make use of the contacts and portfolio they develop during the programme to launch their careers directly. Further study options include postgraduate programmes in journalism, media production, and digital communications.
