Cambridge TV Training

The Cambridge TV School provides a radically different approach to learning the TV, video, and broadcast industries. We use recognised industry practices and experts to deliver tuition. Our students generate and broadcast material from their first week until their final assessment. We believe that the students learn by doing the job for real, working under the pressure of schedule deadlines, knowi

ng that their work will be judged not just by tutors and peers, but by the public. The school works closely with Cambridge TV, the recently franchised local TV station, and we have created an exciting and driven atmosphere more like a busy production house than a university department. Working in teams and with the strong support of professionals, students create programmes and broadcast them both locally and globally via our online services, every day. We don’t just recreate the norms of the current industry. Cambridge TV School sets itself at the forefront of changing technology and regulations, welcoming new ideas, innovative approaches and encouraging students to become video entrepreneurs. Our courses ensure that students gain the skills & knowhow needed to increase employability and career progression. Our students are qualified by experience and build up a personal bank of broadcast material demonstrating their competence. At graduation, they are work-ready, tempered by the demands of a real weekly schedule, a commercial environment and a critical audience. Cambridge TV School won’t suit every media student. Our learning environment appeals to those who are massively creative, highly driven, and willing to accelerate to the top of their game. Cambridge TV School welcomes students who prove they are innovative, resourceful and distinctive. They will be sufficiently flexible and modest enough to recognise that teamwork is key in the sector, and to allow others to also enjoy success. Its about gaining a rounded understanding of the industry, not just in a specialist area. Our students must enjoy the challenging atmosphere of an energetic and creative group who are constantly pushing boundaries, but also hitting regular schedules. We expect exceptional production, detail and content. Cambridge TV School is not an environment for mediocrity – we inspire people to become simply the best new entrants in the industry. With the unique resources of Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin University on our doorstep and leading global technology and scientific companies situated among innumerable cultural gems and heritage sites, we have a huge opportunity to tell thousands of exciting stories and make leading edge thinking accessible to multiple audiences. The TV School thrives on Cambridge’s natural buzz which infects and excites all we do.
