Our BA (Hons) Film Production course is hands-on from the outset, and you'll gain a solid grounding in fundamental, traditional practices, such as shooting on film, as well as exploring the complex creativities of digital production and modern filmmaking protocols. The specialist and focused nature of the course will help you develop your understanding of the creative and commercial realities of film production.

As well as learning practical filmmaking, you'll study cinema in its various forms to achieve a working knowledge of eclectic practices within fiction and non-fiction filmmaking. Your practical skills are informed by an understanding of the cultural and historical contexts of film practice.

Making films is a collaborative process and teamwork is a key part of the course. You wont only work with your peers, lecturers, and technicians on the course, but with contemporaries and staff from other subject areas across AUB too and others. These collaborations are what builds our creative community here at AUB, with BA (Hons) Film Production at its core.
