Filmmaking, BA (Hons)

This practical filmmaking course equips students to write, plan, and produce their own short films, combining hands-on production techniques with in-depth exploration of film history and theory.

Supported by seminars, screenings, industry talks, and study trips—including film festivals—students gain creative freedom to develop projects across genres like fiction, documentary, and advertising, while building essential skills in self-promotion, finance, and distribution for a career in film, TV, and broadcasting.The program progresses through three years: Year one introduces foundational filmmaking processes and film history through team productions and critiques. Year two focuses on specialization, producing diverse works in fiction, documentary, and more. Year three emphasizes industry practices, larger-scale collaborations, and portfolio development to facilitate a smooth transition into professional roles.
