Study Details: One year full-time
UWE Bristol's MA Wildlife Filmmaking is ideal if you want to learn how to tell intelligent, engaging stories about natural history. This world-leading course has been co-designed with producers, directors and production managers from the BBC's renowned Natural History Unit.
Why study this course?
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.
We normally require an honours degree of 2:1 or above but applicants with other qualifications or relevant professional experience are also encouraged to apply and will be considered on an individual basis.
Previous media skills may be helpful but are not essential. We're looking for highly motivated individuals who can demonstrate their ability to come up with documentary ideas and the potential to develop their technical, editorial and organisational skills.

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.
Our BBC Natural History Unit Partnership is unique and so is our location, bringing opportunities for engagement, collaboration and ultimately employment. The BBC highly values the talent, fresh ideas and enthusiasm of our students.
You'll study a practical, production-based course carefully sequenced to deliver a dynamic student journey over three intensive terms.
