Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Creative Media (Film & Broadcasting) top-up at Triagon Academy Malta is a fast-track, one-year program (two semesters, 60 ECTS) perfect for working professionals or diploma holders ready to specialize in film production, storytelling, and broadcasting—letting you build core skills in film theory, camera work, editing, and more alongside your job.

Curriculum Structure
This program unfolds over four consecutive modules completed in 12 months, culminating in your bachelor thesis, with a strong emphasis on practical, industry-relevant projects taught by experts.

In Module 1: Current Topics in Research and Practice, you'll dive into overarching discussions blending research and real-world film & broadcasting scenarios, building skills in quantitative and qualitative research, communication, and critical evaluation to prepare for independent empirical studies in film contexts—assessed via a preliminary proposal (20%) and project literature review (80%). This sets a solid foundation for analyzing film trends and applying them practically.

Module 2 (drawing from the program's core structure) focuses on deepening knowledge in film production and technology, where you'll explore hands-on techniques in image design, camera operation, and editing to create compelling stories for cinema and TV. You'll gain the confidence to produce content that evokes emotions and meets client needs.

In Module 3: Critical and Contextual Studies in Creative Media, you'll develop the ability to question and analyze film and broadcasting broadly, from practical "how-to" exercises to theoretical reflections, culminating in a dissertation proposal that hones your analytical and reflective skills. This module sharpens your perspective on media presentation and storytelling conventions.

Module 4 emphasizes project management, media studies, and film studies, allowing you to set personal priorities like specializing in screenwriting or directing while integrating everything into your bachelor thesis. It's your chance to showcase a professional-level project.
