Why study this course?

The Film and Television Production BA is a dynamic production-focussed course for aspiring filmmakers. The skills you acquire will allow you to work in specialist and broad-based media roles. You'll produce a wide range of film and television productions, creating a portfolio of moving image work spanning diverse genres and formats including short fiction film, documentary and multi-camera TV studio production alongside constantly changing new and emerging practice such as client-led, online and interactive content.

This long-established degree has a strong employability and industry focus, consistently supporting and developing student filmmakers to produce work of the highest standard. In 2019 our students were nominated for two Royal Television Society awards for their graduation films, going on to win the factual (documentary film) category.

Our award-winning lecturers have a wealth of experience in the film and television industries. Alongside this we invite a range of guest speakers to deliver masterclasses including workshops led by BAFTA winning directors and producers.

Students build on their production knowledge, appraising and analysing the work of other filmmakers from both a critical and audience perspective, giving them the ability to talk about their films and contextualise their practice. This is linked to our industry and employability focus by a series of image and industry modules which prepare students for roles in film, television and the wider creative industries.
