Studio projects and live-briefs
Access to our studios provides students with enviable professional skills and knowledge through involvement with real-world technical and creative projects. Here are just a couple of examples of the types of projects you could be a part of:
The Royal Shakespeare Company
Ravensbourne undergraduates on the Digital Television Production course joined forces with those on the Digital Television Technology course to create a live streamed broadcast of The Taming of the Shrew for The Royal Shakespeare Company. This production was opened out to students from across the university to give others a chance to experience the live studio production environment.
Rave TV
Students launched a pop-up TV channel called RaveTV with the tagline, ‘By students, for students’. The channel was run by Digital Television Production and Digital Television Technology students and broadcast online.
