BA (Hons) Film Production

This programme develops filmmakers who can work confidently and creatively across an increasingly diverse and evolving screen landscape. Students establish core production competencies before progressing into areas of specialism and, ultimately, preparing for professional industry practice. Practical skills, critical understanding, and creative decision-making are integrated throughout the course rather than taught in isolation. Students begin with specialist workshops in camera, lighting, sound, editing, directing, screenwriting, and collaborative production, building a strong technical and creative foundation. As they advance, students gain access to a broader ecosystem of optional modules across Film and Media, including digital media, production design, VFX, audio production, animation, and screen cultures. This interconnected structure supports both breadth and specialisation, reflecting contemporary industry workflows and the collaborative nature of screen production. Collaboration sits at the heart of the programme, with team-based productions at every level that mirror professional practice, including opportunities to work across year groups on multi-cohort projects. In the final year, students undertake major independent projects, assume leadership roles within creative teams, and develop a professional portfolio that showcases their skills and artistic identity. The degree supports the creation of high-quality film and moving-image work suitable for festivals, broadcast, online platforms, and emerging forms of distribution. The programme benefits from the University's status as an ARRI Certified Film School, and external examiners consistently highlight the professionalism, technical quality, and industry relevance of student work. Sustainability is embedded throughout the curriculum, including BAFTA albert certification as a core component of the programme.
