Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

As a School with a global reach and outlook, we welcome students from across the world and are immensely proud of the many different ethnicities, identities, cultures and religions that make the NFTS a diverse and dynamic place to study.

We are passionately committed to providing an environment that is free from discrimination, bullying, harassment or victimisation. We foster a culture where everyone values difference, feels comfortable being themselves and has a real sense of belonging. We celebrate individuality, diversity and promote inclusion and equality of opportunity.

We recognise the importance of embracing a range of different ideas, histories, knowledge and culture and the strength that these bring to the quality of work and output of the School.

Increasing access and representation within the industry is something we are hugely passionate about at the National Film and Television School.

We welcomed our most diverse cohort of students yet in 2023 and with thriving bases in Glasgow, Cardiff and Leeds, we are committed to delivering our world class training across the UK and helping the screen industry become a place that better reflects the true diversity of contemporary Britain.

See below a few examples of our ever-developing diversity policies, programmes and initiatives.
