MA Film Practice – Online

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 2 years part-time – online

Course Description

Why tell your stories or make your films in the same way as everyone else? Realise your ambitions while exploring new filmmaking approaches in the context of an international learning community that champions research driven experimentation and peer feedback.

The MA Film Practice online programme is your opportunity to explore the creative depths of filmmaking as an art form.

You’ll be encouraged to challenge established, mainstream modes of filmmaking and think critically about how your work responds to the contemporary world. Through this course, you’ll build an expansive understanding of film, its audiences, and the many contexts in which it can be presented.

Entry Requirements

We encourage applications from students with a broad range of qualifications and we welcome students from all educational backgrounds. We’ll take into account the knowledge and skills that you have developed outside the classroom, as well as your previous qualifications.

There are two different routes to entry: the standard  and non-standard  routes. Admissions staff will assess entries to determine which route is appropriate for you when you apply.

Standard Route

You’ll usually have a BA (Hons) degree graded at 2.2 or above, or an equivalent UK or international qualification in film or the following related subjects: animation, photography, fine art, or media.

Non-standard Route

Applications are also welcomed from those with other qualifications or with work which demonstrates appropriate knowledge and skills to study at postgraduate level.

Your application will be considered for entry if there is sufficient evidence to indicate that you have the potential to fulfil the objectives of the course of study and to achieve the standard of the final award.

Student Destinations

The MA Film Practice programme will prepare you for the next phase in your journey as a creator.

  • independent filmmaker
  • documentary filmmaker
  • artist filmmaker
  • producer or production coordinator
  • freelance film industry roles (assistant director, cinematographer, editor, sound designer)
