The media centre’s broadcasting studio and production studio are the beating heart of the uniFM (88.4 MHz) student radio station. This is where broadcasts are prepared, pre-produced and transmitted live. Members of the editorial team learn how to work with the studio’s technology step by step.

Please contact the editorial manager if you would like to work at uniFM.

Podcast room

The podcast room has a recording setup with microphones and headphones for two people. Here you can record interviews or other podcast formats independently.

A computer with Adobe Audition software is available for recording and initial post-processing.

Recording booth

You can use our recording booth for professional voice recordings. A large diaphragm microphone can be used to record your text straight to the computer in the control room. We can also record film scores.

To use the recording booth, you will need a brief introduction to the technology and, ideally, a second person to control the recording.

Viewing stations

The University Library boasts an extensive video archive. As they are reference holdings, this media can only be viewed on site. The viewing stations in the media centre are used for this. At the counter, you will be given a key and a headset for your reserved media.
