This course will prepare you for a range of specialist careers, in moving image production or in the wider creative industries. For example, graduates from our previous Film Production degree have gone on to work as:

• technicians in sound, lighting and grips
• production personnel such as production assistants and runners
• independent personnel such as script writers, directors of photography, editors, art directors, cinematographers, animation specialists, producers and directors.

Many of our graduates have achieved success as feature film directors and music video artists. They have worked on major film projects such as Assassin's Creed and 13 Hours while others have worked for the BBC, ITV, MTV, Disney and leading music labels.  

You'll also build up a range of transferable skills, useful for any career. For instance, you'll have great oral and written communication skills, be able to manage projects, and be good at identifying and finding relevant source materials.

You can also take your skills to the next level on our MA Film and Screen Production.
