Other requirements

General requirements

To be eligible for the MA Film Production postgraduate course we consider students with either a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree in a closely related field (either Film or television Production, or closely related media production-based subject) or three years working in the industry in a related subject area. Please note, we do not want applicants without experience of being on set/having made short films or broadcast television/feature films. This is not a conversion course for those wanting to move into film - this is for advanced filmmaking.

Portfolio

As part of your application students need to present at least two short film projects - documentary or scripted fiction - on which they have participated in a lead role of director, producer, or head of the department.

Personal statement

A personal statement is also required which outlines your prior experience, intended industry aims and goals, and who your film industry influences are.
