UWE Bristol's MA Wildlife Filmmaking is ideal if you want to learn how to tell intelligent, engaging stories about natural history. This world-leading course has been co-designed with producers, directors and production managers from the BBC's renowned Natural History Unit.
Why study this course:
Study a uniquely designed industry-led curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers. You'll enjoy hands-on experience of professional film equipment, develop high-level production management skills, and gain contemporary insight into crafting natural history narratives. In our collaborative culture, you'll develop communication and production skills to engage diverse audiences and have access to talks and events from across the creative industries.
Why UWE Bristol:
As a creative student you'll be perfectly placed studying in Bristol, an UNESCO City of Film, widely recognised as the global capital of natural history production. Our academic partnership with the BBC's Natural History Unit means you'll have opportunities to frequently meet with professional programme makers, giving you industry insight and knowledge. We've established ourselves as part of the city's thriving production community. Where possible you'll receive direct editorial input on your filmmaking from an industry-based mentor, alongside expert input from our sector-leading academics and technical staff.
Where can it take me:
You'll graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of career options available to you regionally, nationally and internationally. Equipped with essential skills and specialized knowledge, our graduates are well-prepared for entry level roles in the wildlife production industry.
Selection process:
An online portfolio which should be a selection of work that reflects your abilities, your creative process, and your interest in the course. We'd like to see samples of something you've made. This could be film, photography, written, illustrations or another creative form. You should caption your work so that we're clear about its context and your role in its creation.
We normally require an honours degree of 2:1 or above but applicants with other qualifications or relevant professional experience are also encouraged to apply and will be considered on an individual basis. Previous media skills may be helpful but are not essential. We're looking for highly motivated individuals who can demonstrate their ability to come up with documentary ideas and the potential to develop their technical, editorial and organisational skills.
