Overview

The MA Filmmaking course is designed for you to develop your creative voice, master advanced technical skills, and launch a career in the global film and TV industries. From day one, you’ll be making ambitious, original work – building a strong visual style, critical perspective, and industry-level ability. You’ll also make more films on this course than on any other MA filmmaking degree programme.

Across five focused modules, you’ll explore filmmaking in its historical, cultural, and industry contexts while gaining confidence with professional workflows in both narrative and documentary production. Collaboration, leadership, and reflection are at the core of your experience – helping you graduate with both a standout portfolio and a clear direction.

You’ll study across two buildings in the heart of London, at the centre of the UK’s filmmaking industry – one of them based above an independent cinema. With access to two cinemas, four sound stages, multiple edit suites, and full sound facilities, you’ll be immersed in a professional environment built for making films.
