Film and media make up a significant part of people’s everyday life and influence societal development through a unique ability to reach out and communicate to a wide audience. To tell in film and media offers opportunities to operate in a wide range of expressions from the commercial to the artistic, from documentary to fiction. Digital development has made the technology to produce film and media available to many. There are also more and more platforms for film and media: cinema, television, internet, radio, art galleries and public spaces. It is a complex narrative form in which many different artistic expressions such as sounds, images, words, scenery, acting and music together form an experience. Film and media productions are often created in collaboration between artists with their own artistic voices and different crafts and artistic expressions.

The Bachelor's Programme in Film and Media is a first cycle programme for work in film, television and radio and a place for you to begin the development of an artistic expression within the mediated area.

 

The Bachelor’s Programme in Film and Media specialising in Radio – Idea, Directing and Montage

The Bachelor's Programme in Film and Media consists of theory, tool and lab courses. Some courses are common to all five specialisations, others are specialisation-specific. The programme's elective courses give you space to individually shape your education. What recurs throughout the programme is that you as a student seek out your own tone and your own expression. 

As a student in the specialisation Radio – Idea, Directing and Montage, you dedicate yourself to basic knowledge in order to be able to work as a radio producer and radio narrator in the broader sense both within traditional radio and in other sound-based distribution forms.

The courses that are specific to the specialisation include both shorter and longer exercises of different kinds, from new stories and radio documentaries to radio drama. You will learn to produce recorded material in both documentary and fictional narrative. In the programme, you will practice working both within a clear framework and more freely. Through analysis, you develop your ability to reflect on your own work and the work of others.

If you wish to specialise even more, deepen your artistic expression, and prepare to do research, after completing the bachelor's degree specialising in Image – Cinematography, Animation and Production Design, you can apply for the master specialisations Documentary Processes and The Art of Impact.

  • Application and tuition fees

    If you are a Swedish citizen or a citizen of another EU or EEA country you are not required to pay application or tuition fees. Some other groups are also exempt from the requirement to pay application and study fees.

    A few years ago Sweden introduced application and tuition fees for higher education. The level of the study fees depends on which course/programme they are for, and the level is set in order to cover the actual costs of the course/programme in question. SKH has some possibilities of offering scholarships that cover the whole study fee or that subsidise it.

    If you are required to pay an application fee, the Swedish Council for Higher Education needs to receive your payment by the last date for paying the application fee. The application fee is SEK 900. If you are required to pay the application fee and the Swedish Council for Higher Education has not received your payment by the last date for paying the tuition fee, they will not process your application.
