Overview

Throughout the Wildlife Filmmaking MA programme from UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) you'll study a uniquely designed industry-led curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers. You’ll enjoy hands-on experience of professional film equipment, develop high-level production management skills, and gain contemporary insight into crafting natural history narratives.

Career opportunities:

For over a decade, our MA Filmmaking graduates have been very successful in securing careers with natural history production companies in the UK and overseas. Many remain in Bristol, and alumni now include junior researchers to senior producers in all major production companies based here.

The BBC Natural History Unit Partnership is unique and so is the location, bringing opportunities for engagement, collaboration and ultimately employment. The BBC highly values the talent, fresh ideas and enthusiasm of our students.
