as producers, film-makers, media managers and public relations specialists. You will gain sought after skills in field recording and
camerawork; editing of sound, vision and pictures; digital and paper publishing; and multi-platform distribution. You will also gain
valuable insights into current production values and practices through the on-site media and production support team.

supervised experience as a psychologist.
