Overview
Develop as a producer/director of factual programs and enhance your creative skills and technical knowledge. With talks by industry professionals and access to a broad range of equipment, you’ll create a portfolio of work that will help you stand out from the crowd.
Additional Descriptions
- Study with award-winning lecturers and film and television professionals who have worked with the BBC, Discovery, Channel 4, and Channel 5, among others.
- Show your work to industry professionals at our end-of-course degree show.
- Make the most of Cambridge with its annual Film Festival and both arts and mainstream cinemas
No matter what experience you have of filmmaking, our course will develop your knowledge of factual UK TV and digital media content production, and your creative skills, to an advanced level. Along the way, you’ll make seven films of different lengths and write a dissertation on a media subject that excites and interests you.
Focusing on two key roles, the director and the producer (which in current factual programming are merged into one), you’ll explore the dynamics of this ever-changing industry, and what it takes to succeed. You’ll learn to become a visual storyteller, a communicator, a collaborator, a motivator, and a problem solver. You’ll also develop skills in scheduling, production managing, budgeting, and marketing programs. Although the emphasis is on factual programming, there is scope and flexibility to develop more creative films.
With specialist technical workshops on camera operation, sound, lighting, and editing, you’ll develop professional skills in screen-based production. This will be supported by tutorials, diary work, and independent research, giving you a strong critical and contextual grounding for your practical work.
You’ll be encouraged to collaborate with other students on this course and others, becoming a flexible media professional who can produce and deliver high-quality video content for many different clients.
All our teaching staff has backgrounds in the film and television industries, and they're supported by industry specialists and visiting lecturers.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
