Filmmaking BA(Hons) single honours

This programme encourages creative and exploratory approaches to working with the moving image. It is a single honours, full-time programme, demanding a passion and commitment to engaging fully with the filmmaking environment
The course provides a platform for you to become conceptually, technically and culturally aware. It prepares you for career paths across the ever-increasing scope of the moving image sector, especially in independent filmmaking, as film freelancers, as artists in moving image work and in more specialised, role assigned positions.
The course also offers work experience within a range of prestigious film-related environments (to selected students) and prepares you for further study at masters level.
Individual practice is emphasised and prioritised throughout the programme, along with the need to understand and participate in the work of fellow students. This gives you experience of the group dynamics through which successful films are made.
Whilst this is a conceptually driven course, it is augmented by an excellent range of technical and exploratory challenges, that will make your learning challenging and enterprising. Study on the programme culminates in a third year that is essentially a self-directed, negotiated pathway, with two main moving image projects (along with research and development) at the centre of your creative output.
