Why study film with us

The facilities you’ll be able to use include Avid Media Composer Edit Suites, Dedicated Recording Studio, Motion Capture Suite, Greenscreen Virtual Studio.
You’ll be taught by staff working in the film industry, with professional experience across a range of different aspect of film. This includes producers, directors, screenwriters, and more, with backgrounds covering everything from experimental film-making through to corporate film. During your time with us, you’ll learn from guest speakers. Past speakers include Ben Wheatley (Kill List, High-Rise, Doctor Who), Kim Longinotto (Divorce Iranian Style), Sean McAllister (A Syrian Love Story).
Explore all stages of the film-making process with our course
Your first year will serve as an introduction to all things film. After this, you will have the opportunity to follow different pathways like editing, directing, screenwriting, cinematography and many more. You can also choose to keep your interests broad to gain an all-round foundation in film practice and theory. Just like in the film industry, you’ll work closely and collaboratively with fellow film students on a variety of projects that’ll help you with better understanding the world of professional work.
Your second year will be focused on production, familiarising you with producing and directing as you work on all stages of the film-making process. In your third year, you’ll get the freedom to define the scope of your final project – this can be as broad as editing a coursemate’s film or creating a whole film from start to finish.
Our students frequently participate in a number of festivals to showcase their work and gain real-world experience. In 2018, our BA Film students presented their work at Aesthetica Short Film Festival in York.
A film degree can open a lot of doors and we’re here to help you find the right career path. Graduates of this course become writers, editors, sound technicians, and camera assistants. Some have joined major institutions like the BBC while others have set up independent companies, attracting commercial work and funded commissions. Ben Charles, having graduated only a few years back, has already worked on various visual effects projects, including CGI work for the most recent Star Wars film.

Sometimes you’ll need a little bit of extra support during your studies and we ensure that you get it. That’s why you’ll have access to our technicians, industry professionals ready to help with your projects and provide support in specialist facilities.
