Course Summary

MA Film is a highly vocational and hands-on course that will develop your understanding of the creative, commercial and practical aspects of digital film production.

Course overview

MA Film will prepare you for a career as a skilled film practitioner in the creative industries and enable you to develop a deep understanding of how to work creatively across the digital technologies of contemporary film production.

Our theoretical content underscores all of the practical elements of the course and offers a shared process for you to explore both your own work and the work of your fellow students.

You’ll be encouraged to take an innovative approach to narrative storytelling in a collaborative, sustainable environment where you’ll be able to create distinct and original work.

Taught through a combination of lectures, technical workshops, tutorials and assignments, the course enables you to both focus on and develop one key specialism at postgraduate level while being encouraged to engage creatively with related disciplines and wider filmic processes.

You’ll also gain insight into the creative industries through regular guest lectures and masterclasses from industry practitioners and you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with external partners as well as other courses at UAL.
