Content Tabs

As a student on the MA Producing course, you will produce at least three short films to industry standard, with a team comprised of students from the other disciplines at the school. You will undertake a Cannes Film Festival work placement and will be individually mentored by a successful film or TV professional during the second year of the course.  You will learn the business of film and television in detail, and script development skills including writing script reports and giving notes to writers.

As a graduate, you may well go on to work as a producer, an executive producer or a development or production executive in the UK and/or internationally. Typically, new graduates combine developing and producing their own projects with paid employment in various roles across film and high end TV (for example as assistants to producers, development associates, script readers or in physical production).
