If so, then the Film Production BA at Brunel   might be exactly what you are looking for !   

Th is  programme shares a common first year   with the Film and Television Studies BA,   providing you with an opportunity to study   video practice alongside a range of modules   that focus upon how screen media have been   variously theorised.  

In  subsequent  years, you will have the   flexibility to map your own route through   the programme, combining practice-based   modules with theory-based options in the   way  that work best for you. With many   production modules to choose from, you   can make this degree as hands-on as  you’d   like!

Through a range of assessments that test   your creativity, your technical expertise, your   understanding of industry practices, and your   ability to communicate effectively in a variety   of forms, you will develop a range of skills   that will enhance your employability and open   doors into a very wide range of careers.

Why Brunel?   

Central to our educational mission is a   commitment to ensuring that all our graduates   are ready for a career in the creative sector.   The theme of employability is embedded in   every level of our programmes and, from the   moment that you join us, you will be required   to think about how to construct a professional   identity, to make sense of employment   practices in the film and television industries,   and to build a CV that will set you apart in a   highly competitive job market. And  we’ll  help   you to negotiate the challenges of developing   a distinctive creative voice in the era of AI.  

Our  on-campus  editing suites give you access to Adobe Creative Cloud among other programmes and these facilities are supported by our technical staff. Help is never far away while  you’re  knee-deep in your latest audio-visual project! Checking out equipment for your course-related projects or your own creative ones is straightforward, and we encourage students to make the most of  what’s  on offer here. On your degree you will have access to a variety of high-end filmmaking equipment, including a Netflix-approved 12k camera. You will also have access to our Green Screen Studio.   

Studying film at Brunel offers you many opportunities beyond the classroom.

Like most Brunel students, you will have the   option  of doing a placement year between   your second and third year of study. With the   support of our award-winning  Student Development team , you can secure an   internship that is a good fit in terms of   your professional aspirations. If  that’s  not   for you, though,  you’ll  still have plenty   of opportunities over the course of your   studies to hone your career .

Throughout your time with us, we encourage you to think expansively in terms of how you might apply your skill set and in which corner of the industry. We have developed close links not only with film and television production companies but also with post-production houses, charities, marketing companies, corporate video producers, and podcasting studios. In recent  years  our students have completed short placements with Scott Free Productions (Napoleon), Shondaland (Bridgerton), IMG Sports, the British Red Cross, the Beck Theatre,  OnSight   Post Production , Baby Cow Productions, Rex Brown Studios,  NextShoot , Antonia Claudie,  CaviarTV , and the National Theatre.
