Overview

On our International Film Production MA/PG Dip/PG Cert, you will enhance your filmmaking skills, such as storytelling, lighting, production design and directing, while developing a range of core skills and expertise in business and production management, such as post-production, pitching, budgeting and management.

Your skills and knowledge will be complemented with industry-led insight and expertise, which is embedded throughout the courses. Students on the course will examine and analyse global cinema movements, whether via territory or style, to gain a broader understanding of the industry and further your knowledge of existing directors and global cinema movements. This includes dedicated taught sessions on international (non-western) film movements. You will also be encouraged to draw upon your own interests and experience of your home countries’ cinema to inspire your filmmaking practice.

As your studies progress, you’ll have the opportunity to bring all you’ve learnt to life with hands-on modules in pre-production and production. Supported by our expert academics, you’ll collaborate with your peers on both a short and large film projects, showcasing your new skillset through portfolio-worthy content. These invaluable experiences will prepare you for your final block of teaching, where you will choose between a final dissertation or individual film project.
