Identify Talents for Film and Television
The School of Film and Television BFA Film and Television (Honours) programme is designed to develop high-level film, television and screen production practices, and to nurture creative and artistic skills. The primary objective is to prepare students for entry to a variety of creative, technical and professional careers. The school places emphasis upon developing the whole student ensuring each student graduates with broad experience and knowledge. The curriculum allows every student to learn all screen production roles in the early years then gradually focus upon major study courses in the later years. The emphasis is upon learning through doing. Students make screen productions as exercises and projects during every semester often working in small creative teams. Our programme is intensive and challenging. Contextual and complementary courses are required and a range of elective courses allow students to explore interdisciplinary or supplemental areas of interest.
The School is also internationally recognised as a certified AVID Learning Partner (ALP) institution. AVID certified Instructors are qualified to train students as certified AVID Operators in state-of-the-art digital screen post-production facilities providing employable real-world skills for students.
There are seven major studies offered in the School's undergraduate programme. All students also study screen theory and history courses, and a range of optional elective courses.
Applications are especially welcome from those who are interested in film and television production, or have prior experience in the study areas mentioned above, or who can clearly demonstrate and articulate their enthusiasm and prior interests or practice in screen creation. Those interested in stories and visual storytelling, digital design and animation, games creation, drawing, or social media content creation (such as vlogs or podcasts) would also benefit from our BFA programme.
