Course summary
Why study BA Film with us This BA has been designed to get you into the diverse film industry, bringing together both theoretical and practical learning. You’ll be following in the footsteps of a long list of decorated alumni, the likes of which have gone on to work on the latest Star Wars productions, for Disney, the BBC, set up their own companies and continued their studies at the National Film and Television School. Year on year, our students produce outstanding, industry standard films that are distributed across many short film festivals including Dessert (North Hollywood Film Festival, best thriller, 2019); Natia (KinoFilm, Best Student Short, 2017), Natia (Underwire Film Festival [BAFTA recognised festival], Best Film in the Under 25 category, 2017); Potty the Plant (Learning on Screen award for best student film, 2018); Chopsticks! (Learning on Screen award for best student film, AND Special Jury Prize, 2019), as well as many Royal Television Society awards. You’ll have our state-of-the-art facilities at your fingertips to help develop your own creative identity and produce your best possible work, including: a TV production studio designed by Sony, post-production suites for editing, colour grading and sound editing, a sound dubbing studio for mixing Dolby Atmos, studios for recording ADR and foley, and a motion capture and greenscreen virtual studio. You will also have access to our equipment loan store, The Kit Hub, where you can borrow a vast range of cameras, lighting and sound kit. As we head up the UK-wide Creative Campus Network, you will benefit from information and opportunities from our industry contacts. In addition, we are partnered with Film London, ScreenSkills and the GLA Creative Academy to provide you with free access to additional industry-recognised resources and training. Our partnerships with Avid, Canon and others mean that you'll benefit from top equipment and development opportunities to help you with your future career. Middlesex University is fortunate to be surrounded by film studios, with which we have established relationships allowing our students to find work placement and experience opportunities. Several of our students have worked at the London North Studios, as runners/marshals or set builders with Brandon B whose video work is seen by millions around the world.
