HNC Creative Industries: Radio

Radio broadcasting in the UK is undergoing an unprecedented period of growth as new independent local and community radio stations compete to provide an increasing choice and variety of programmes. This, in turn, has created a buoyant employment market for the 'all round' skilled broadcaster. Through this HNC, you will develop professional skills and experience in all aspects of radio, and maximise your employment opportunities.
