2. Duration and
Entry
Requirements
The length of this course (Filmmaking) is 3 years.
I do not believe there is option to study abroad or
spend a year in industry.
The entry requirements for the course is stated as
112 UCAS points, which I believe I am on track to
meet these requirements
3. Course
Modules
Year One – Begin by exploring the role of filmmaker and the
process of filmmaking. You will work across roles and gain
experience to frame your understanding of the production
process. Films are produced in small teams, and as a class, we
watch our work in regular screenings with discussions.
Year Two – You will start to specialise and focus on specific
production areas, forming more specialist production teams to
support complete production cycles each semester. You will
produce a wide and varied body of work across different
disciplines, including fiction, documentary, and advertising.
Year Three – You consolidate the practices of the previous two
years, with a focus on industry practice and the specialisation
of skills. You will work on larger scale productions during this
year and collaborate across a production team, but also across
multi-disciplinary teams. In addition, you will prepare an
impressive portfolio of your work, methods of distribution,
screenings, and workshops to support your successful
transition into this exciting industry.
4. Career
Opportunities,
Cost and
Travel
The career opportunities for the course include
screen industry careers, such as work in cameras,
lighting, sound and producing to name a few.
As I will be moving away from home, the travel to
this university would roughly be around 2 to 3
hours, but I will be moving closer to the
university, so the travel from any accommodation
would be around 10-40 minutes.
The cost for this course would be £10000 a year,
but with my household income I believe I would be
eligible for maximum financial support.
