The Master of Film and Television prepares you for the diverse challenges of the industry, from finding roles that match your interests, to pitching your ideas and, ultimately, bringing your stories to life on the screen. Build practical skills in world-class facilities, and graduate with an impressive portfolio to stand out from the crowd. 
Want a degree that develops your career as well as your skills, so you can give your passion a greater purpose? 
The Master of Film and Television is grounded in the everyday realities of the film and television industry. By breaking down some of the misconceptions about working in film and television, our graduates are better prepared for future roles, and more in control of their careers. On top of practical skills for film and television production, the course focuses on transferable skills – like collaboration, problem-solving and personal organisation – that are crucial for success in media industries.
From your first year, you’ll get hands-on experience with media production projects. In fact, 70% of assignments in the course will involve the production of film and television content. Through extensive practical experience, you’ll develop your own unique style of storytelling across different platforms and for different audiences. In addition, you’ll expand your networks and build further real-world experience with a screen internship. Your internship allows you to hone your craft alongside experienced producers in film, television, sound, animation or digital media, all while developing professional relationships that can help you get a foot in the door when you graduate.
A highlight of the course is learning from our world-class academics in state-of-the-art film and television facilities. Push your creativity to new limits by using the very latest technologies, including digital cinema cameras, an industry-standard broadcast TV studio and cutting-edge motion capture facility. By practising with the same tools professionals use, you’ll feel more confident when it’s time to apply your skills in your future role.
While many of our graduates go on to secure rewarding roles in film, television, media and communications, there are also opportunities for further study upon successful completion of the course. If you enjoy the research project component of the masters degree and want to become a true expert in particular area of film and television, you might like to progress into a Higher Degree by Research.
