91% of the adult population listens to the radio each week and are served by a considerable number of national, local commercial and BBC radio stations. One of the most exciting developments of recent years, is the new platform of community stations currently being launched. Radio Production is a partnership between education and industry and addresses the practical skills required to become a radio practitioner/professional.Wherever possible, teaching is directly linked to the professional workplace and radio companies work as partners with tutors in the content and delivery of this course. Applicants must demonstrate a proven interest in radio as a medium, supported where possible by some form of practical experience and/or relevant qualification; e.g. work on a hospital radio, RSL, student or community station would be appropriate. This could be of value to radio professionals working on stations in junior positions, who wish to enhance their skills.
