Master of Arts Screen Business

The UK screen industry is booming, with companies like Netflix and Amazon investing huge amounts in creating original UK dramas and content.

New platforms are also opening up new opportunities, and producers are needed to meet the ongoing demand for high-quality screen-based content in the digital space, animations and video games, as well as in TV and films.

MA Screen Business is firmly embedded in Bristol's vibrant creative sector and is delivered in partnership with Watershed, the leading film culture and digital media centre in the South West.

Exploring the structure and operations that make up the contemporary global screen industries, students will learn about areas such as production, distribution and exhibition, as well as the marketing and reception of film and TV.

Studying this in Bristol, a UNESCO City of Film, means students will be part of the city's rapidly expanding screen business sector, the third largest in the UK.

Bristol is home to the BBC's world-famous Natural History Unit, Aardman Animations, the Bottle Yard Studios, and many leading independent production companies, as well as being one of two Channel 4 regional hubs, and the new production base for Netflix.
