Motion Pictures

The study programme

On the Motion Pictures programme, students learn how to create films from the initial idea through to the final cut. Our aim is to inspire the next generation of filmmakers through a hands-on curriculum based on real film productions. Our bachelor’s degree offers specialisations tailored to specific interests in production, cinematography, directing and post-production. Each specialisation is built on a solid foundation of film theory and applied in an immersive, industry-focused learning environment.
