What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
This industry-focused course equips you with the skills and experience needed to work in a production crew. A course like this typically moves from foundational visual studies, colour, composition and form across media, alongside practical work with materials and processes. You'll progress through sustained studio practice and live briefs with real deadlines, before specialising in areas such as graphic design, illustration, fine art, fashion and textiles, or UX and digital work. Throughout, contextual studies ground your creative practice in art and design history. In your final year, you'll undertake a self-directed major project and participate in a degree show, while developing professional practice skills to position your work for industry.
You're drawn to the visual and narrative side of media, how programmes are made, how stories move from concept to screen, how teams work together under pressure. You have strong creative instincts and enjoy problem-solving practically, not just theoretically. You're likely to thrive if you're curious about production workflows, willing to learn technical skills, and interested in collaborating with others. Studying here will feel like a blend of classroom learning and hands-on production work, building a portfolio of real projects as you progress.

What applying to University of Lancashire from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
International tuition is £19,500 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Lancashire’s funding pages.
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Lancashire and gov.uk before you apply.
