Welcome to our booth at the first ever virtual NFTS games expo NFTS:DEVS! Since our Games Design MA second year students were unable to showcase their eagerly anticipated games at annual events like EGX and Develop: Brighton, we are previewing them here on the NFTS blog and across our social channels instead.
The National Film and Television School (NFTS) has today announced it is to establish a new national hub in Wales in partnership with BBC Cymru Wales and Creative Wales.

Following the new national restrictions introduced in the UK from 5th November, as a higher education institution, the NFTS will remain open to our students to allow their studies to continue. We understand that recent applicants and those thinking about applying for a January 2021 start will have a lot of questions about how the School will operate during this secondary lockdown and into the new term. Read on to find out more.
Throughout 2020, the NFTS has awarded over £900,000 of scholarship and bursary funding to students studying our MA and diploma courses. We remain as committed as we’ve always been to attracting a pipeline of the UK’s most promising and diverse television and film makers, no matter their background or financial circumstance.
Out latest behind the scenes at the NFTS blog piece features current Directing & Producing Television Entertainment student Matthew Bibby and recent graduate Nelson Asare. They talk us through their collaboration on the glitz and glam of their summer project, a glitter-tastic pilot titled Celebrity Cage, developed and filmed during the pandemic.
Minco van der Weide will be graduating in 2021 from the NFTS Marketing, Distribution, Sales & Exhibition MA and already has big plans for his future in full swing!
