This hands-on, immersive programme combines practical workshops, interactive sessions, assignments and collaborative group projects. You'll gain experience in creating, recording and editing video and audio content, while developing your planning, presentation and pitching skills. The scheme also provides a foundation in photography and imaging, social media and search engine optimisation (SEO), and website creation, giving you a broad understanding of modern digital content production.

We are the BBC Sounds social media and curation teams. On BBC Sounds you can listen to live radio and events, on demand music mixes, podcasts, audio books & more. You can listen through our app, our website, smart speakers, TV, in your car & more. You will work with our social media team helping users discover BBC Sounds most popular podcasts, and with the Curation team to make sure visitors to Sounds can find the most relevant content to them easily.

The team also includes designers to ensure artwork for our podcasts stands out. Passionate about audio? This could be for you.
