Master of Arts - Filmmaking

The MA Filmmaking offers a unique blend of practical production skills, professional knowledge and academic study as well as opportunities for students to become a researcher in their own right.

The University have designed the course to be taught through a combination of intensive workshop sessions, online interactive and self-directed teaching, as well as group and individual tutorials. The programme provides intensive instruction in cinematography, camerawork, sound recording and design, non-linear editing, scriptwriting, producing and directing.

The course is taught by a team of experienced educators who have had professional careers in a related sector and/or are internationally recognised researchers in their field. A group of non-academic partners and advisors also contribute to the delivery of the programme, in the forms of visiting talks, debates and discussions, contributing to assignment briefs, and offering networking opportunities. These professionals have significant experience as media creators.

This course is unique that it is delivered alongside multiple degree routes in the broader Creative and Cultural Industries subject areas, which enables students to have a multi and interdisciplinary learning experience and meet and collaborate with a range of creative professionals.
