Bachelor of Arts Film Production

The course offers you the intellectual stimulation to expand your horizons and the space to explore your own artistic and creative potential.

You'll study modules relating to areas such as the art and craft of film editing, moving image production in a historical context and the use of sound production equipment, and you'll spend time honing your skills and carrying out filming projects.

During the course, you undertake a number of employability modules, which help to prepare you for work experience and ultimately a job in the creative industries. You will also be working on the Albert Sustainability Scheme, developed by BAFTA in consultation with the Higher Education providers. Albert is an industry standard kitemark for sustainability. It is a great asset for your future CV. Many of the skills that you learn over the three years are transferable across the sector, which is a thriving part of the UK and global economy.

Your tutors are a creative mix of practitioners and theoreticians and they work alongside a technical team. The course is taught in the Powell Building, which is named after renowned British filmmaker Michael Powell and was opened by his widow Thelma Schoonmaker-Powell, who is Martin Scorsese’s film editor and an Honorary Fellow of the University.
