Course summary

Explore the most exciting and challenging areas of contemporary film and high-end TV-making on a course designed to get you noticed in an intensely competitive industry. If you aspire to make big-budget productions for cinemas or small-screen streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon, this course will suit you. You’ll need to be highly creative, passionate and dedicated.

Why choose this course?

You will be taught by tutors who are still successful in the film and TV industry today. They have worked on feature films, TV dramas, promotional videos and sports broadcasts. You’ll work with the best digital cameras, just like those used for Hollywood blockbusters and have the option to work with traditional celluloid film (35mm). Our film students have a track record of winning high-profile industry competitions, such as the Royal Television Society Awards and the NAHEMI Kodak Student Commercial Awards. There are also lots of opportunities to gain experience on real film and TV sets, plus we offer a career-making six-month placement with Malta Production Hub.

Is this course for you?

Through a blend of practical projects and more traditional teaching, you’ll develop the creative, technical and theoretical expertise needed to work within the moving image sector. We’ll cover these key areas: Screenwriting and directing; Cinematography, sound and editing; Production, including 1st assistant directing; Film history and theory; Research skills; Employability skills. By the end of your final year, you will have built up an impressive portfolio of work that will help you gain employment or get accepted onto postgraduate programmes. We’ll also make sure you leave with a great understanding of the film and television industry so you know how to create products that get seen by an audience. Plus, you will develop the professional skills you’ll need to deal with clients, commercial briefs, audiences and markets.

Careers

This BA (Hons) in Film and High-End TV Production can prepare you for a range of specialist careers, in moving image production or in the wider creative industries.
