Creative Business /International Media and Entertainment Management | BREDA UNIVERSITY

In the first year, you are introduced to the media landscape, both at home and abroad. You learn about subjects in marketing, production, content, management and research. The “production module” introduces pre-production, production and post-production of audio-visual content, including Image Editing and short film production. The “content orientation module” teaches you how to recognize good content, by following courses in story analysis and digital concept development.

In the second year of study, the subjects of management, marketing, online production, communication and research are dealt with in greater detail. You learn to develop ideas or concepts for advertising campaigns, television programmes and multimedia events.

You learn in detail about production techniques of ‘classic’ media, such as radio and television. You also learn more about the organizational and commercial side of the work.

In the final part of the second year, students do a three-week training programme in live television production at an exchange university outside Holland, or in studios in Hilversum, the Netherlands. You have the possibility to go to universities in for instance Bournemouth in the United Kingdom, or Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff in the United States.

A professional, state-of-the-art television studio will be at your disposal. All students will have a guaranteed possibility to experience this international experience.

After the second year, you choose one of the specializations: “Marketing”, “Production”, or “Content”.

A “marketeer” develops strategic plans for the promotion and communication of a product or brand.

A “producer” provides the shape and content of the chosen media and entertainment products for the promotion of a brand or product.        

A “content specialist” actually is a storyteller who knows how to engage his target group. He, she is the creative mind behind a media concept and responsible for the development of that concept into completed content that can then be produced.

The third and fourth years serve to further explore this specialization.

In the third year you get a taste of the media and entertainment profession during a 20-week work placement. You may conduct this in the Netherlands or abroad, at for instance, production companies, publishing companies, communication agencies or broadcasting corporations. This gives you the opportunity to find out how you will operate in a competitive business environment.

Throughout the entire programme you spend one day a week working in ADE Production House, which is Breda University of Applied Sciences own Media & Entertainment Production Company for media students. Here, you work on assignments and projects, often secured from industry, together with other students.

Breda has a growing number of students, which is why accommodation in Breda can be scarce. Unfortunately, Breda University of Applied Sciences has no campus or student rooms of its own and, therefore, it will be your own responsibility to find accommodation in Breda. Rental prices for a student room in Breda vary from €300 to €500 per calendar month. However, you will most commonly find rooms to rent for around € 400. Make sure you book a room in time (preferably in the early spring), so you have the best chances to book the room that suits your wishes. Unfurnished rooms can be cheaper to rent than furnished ones and since most rooms in the Breda are unfurnished, you may need to furnish your room yourself. This doesn’t have to be expensive as there are many DIY stores, second hand stores and second hand websites and Facebook pages.

If you want to find a good place to live in time, Breda University of Applied Sciences encourages you to subscribe to Klik voor Kamers (Click for rooms). This is a joint initiative of the three housing corporations in Breda: Laurentius, Singelveste Alleewonen and WonenBreburg.

For more information on booking a room, please contact us on: info@studyinholland.gr
