Wherever your filmmaking interests lie, this MA Wildlife Documentary Production degree will give you the research, scriptwriting and technical skills you need to take the first step in your professional career. Designed to give you the hands-on experience you’ll need to establish yourself as a skilled filmmaker, this wildlife documentary master’s degree will provide you with the opportunity to attend fascinating masterclasses given by expert practitioners with links to the television industry. So, alongside your lectures, seminars and field trips, you’ll also have access to advice from people with firsthand experience of the industry. What’s more, as a postgraduate student studying at Salford, you’ll be able to make the most of the creative opportunities this exciting city has to offer. From the top of the range studio facilities and equipment on campus to the variety of reputable TV production and media companies across Greater Manchester, you’ll be joining a vibrant community of like-minded creatives with a wealth of experience. Below, you can watch a documentary by a graduate from the programme, Luca Antonio Marino, who said: "The MA in Wildlife Documentary Production was very important to learn how to produce wildlife films that meet broadcast standards and to know better the industry of natural history documentaries. A strong emphasis is given to storytelling and the production of individual projects and this gave me the chance to put into play my filmmaking skills and practise with the equipment. I really appreciated studying in a stimulating environment close to some of the most important production companies in the world and along with expert practitioners with links to the television industry."
