    Course Summary

    A degree in Film Production from the University for the Creative Arts is an in-depth exploration of the film maker’s art. It is also a very practical course intended to give you the technical and critical skills you’ll need to be taken seriously in this very competitive field.

    The emphasis is heavily on the practical, and the motto of the program is that you learn best by doing. You’ll spend as little as 25% of your time learning art and film theory, and the rest learning how to actually make great art. You may even see your coursework screened at national or international film festivals and competitions.

    The program encompasses everything – film making, film production, screen writing, directing, editing, sound recording, visual effects (VFX), cinematography and editing. You’ll also learn how to handle the business side of film production, including the networking and communications skills you’ll need to make your next project succeed.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
