BA Filmmaking is a practical filmmaking programme aimed at those passionate about storytelling in cinema and television. It is a rich and challenging environment for students keen to develop their storytelling skills in a specialist area.
The programme will let you dive deep into your chosen specialism and work collaboratively with peers in practical settings. You will choose one of the following specialisms across three years:
- Cinematography
- Directing
- Editing
- Production
- Sound
- Writing
BA Filmmaking has critical thinking and professional development at its core. Our workshops and seminars are designed to enhance your ability to appreciate what has gone before as you craft the stories of the future. You will benefit from industry contacts, attend masterclasses, and gain tuition from industry practitioners. We will help you develop as collaborators to work on student films, tell stories and advance your skills. The programme allows regular opportunities to share work with your peers and the staff team throughout your degree.
