FAQs
- What is Access NFTS?
Access NFTS is the Outreach and Inclusion programme from the National Film and Television School (NFTS). We want to work with people already interested in a career in the industry, as well as those wanting to discover what opportunities are available to them.
- Who are these events for?
We believe a career in this industry can be a reality for anyone, regardless of their background, experience or circumstance. Whether you are leaving education, or looking for a career change, Access NFTS is here to help you explore your options and realise your potential.
It is important to us that, through this programme, we are creating opportunities for groups traditionally under-represented in both higher education and the film, TV and games industry. This includes priorities based on:
Age | (Dis)ability | Gender | Sexual orientation | Location in the UK | Socio-economic status | Care experience
