The MA Filmmaking is a one-year postgraduate programme that offers five collaborative pathways that explore narrative fiction filmmaking:CinematographyDirecting FictionEditingProducingSound Recording, Post-Production and DesignWe also offer two stand-alone pathways in:Screen DocumentaryExperimental FilmAcross all pathways, we teach an intense, innovative curriculum that emphasises the development of creative thinking, technical expertise and a deep understanding of image, sound and narrative. Teaching on the five fiction filmmaking pathways is divided into three parts:Specialist studies – Detailed tutoring by experienced film professionals in the five specialisationsOptional modules – A selection of courses chosen by each student to broaden their film experienceGroup film projects – Films of increasing complexity conceived and produced by the students, the last one being a 15-minute Graduation FilmOver the three terms, the programme will challenge you to think critically and expand your creativity. You will test and explore your personal ideas, inventing ways to bring to life these ideas and touch an audience. We carefully select applicants for the pathways, aiming to assemble a group of filmmakers with diverse interests, skills, experiences and traditions. However, our main requirement is for you to be open-minded in your approach, and to join the programme without expectations or preconceptions. You will be surprised by what you learn.
You should have (or expect to be awarded) an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard in a relevant/related subject as well as a level of practical experience from work in the arts or the media.
You might also be considered for some programmes if you arent a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.
Because funding deadlines and requirements vary around the world, applications are considered on a rolling basis from February onwards and places on the programme fill up across the recruitment cycle. For this reason, we strongly advise you to submit your completed application as early as you can
