Why Film Production?

Our Film Production degree will allow you to explore and develop your individual creativity, as you learn a wide range of practical skills in post-production, cinematography, sound design and directing. With opportunities to gain work experience on placements at organisations such as Aardman Animations, Films at 59, Working Title, the BBC and Creative England, our graduates stand out from the competition. There are even opportunities for insightful trips to UK and overseas festivals, such as Encounters Bristol, IDFA Amsterdam, Berlinale Germany, Fantasporto Portugal and the European Short Film Festival in Paris (additional costs may apply, see course web page for details).

You’ll draw on the expertise of experienced lecturers who are active filmmakers, including BAFTA-winners and Oscar shortlist nominees, as well as from notable industry professionals through our guest lecture series. You’ll use state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, learning in professional-standard film studios and editing and grading suites. The course also benefits from accreditation with Creative Skillset, who work with the UK screen-based creative industries to develop skills and talent.
