What you will study
What you study
This is a bachelor's programme in film and TV production at Nord University, taught in English over three years (180 ECTS). The teaching happens at the campus in Levanger, where you work in computer labs, editing suites and studios, with camera, sound and lighting equipment for productions. The labs run industry software, including Adobe Creative Cloud, ProTools and BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve, plus other software that fits your projects.
The first year gives you basic courses across television production: single-camera and multi-camera work in fiction, documentary, reportage and events. Directing runs alongside cinematography, post production and digital workflow. In the second year you can lean towards film production, script development and directing, or take the production course in multi-camera work, choosing short fiction or a TV drama series, or multicam productions that may include larger sports, event and concert work. Productions go out live online, on the big screen or on demand.
The third year moves you into professional work in production groups, where you pick your focused area inside a larger production. The programme ends with a bachelor production: you set up and plan a pilot production, or work with the industry in an internship, with reflection and relevant theory and methodology built into the work.
Project work and teamwork run through the whole degree. You are linked to external clients from industry and learn to handle problems alone and in groups. Entrepreneurship has its own place too, with entrepreneurial camps and a separate course in production management. Several students start their own student companies during their studies, with a structure and partners to help.
