Entry requirements

An honours degree (2:2 or above) or equivalent professional experience. In addition you need to provide a brief outline proposal for your major project (a short film of 10-20 mins), together with evidence of previous film, video, scriptwriting and/or other relevant experience. Normally this work includes short films made as an undergraduate and/or productions you may have worked on in the industry. If you have not produced any video/film work or written any original scripts, we would like to see an outline for adapting an existing story, such as an unproduced book or news story.

If English is not your first language, you will need a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 overall with at least 5.5 in all components (or equivalent).

We are pleased to accept all qualifications included in the UCAS tariff points system (e.g. International Baccalaureate, key skills). More information about our entry requirements.
