Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Film Production with optional Placement Year Arts University Bournemouth, UK

We have an international reputation in the film business. Recent BA (Hons) Film Production graduates have worked on Oscar-winning productions, BBC documentaries and dramas, and for major studios like DreamWorks. 

Communication, passion, creativity, technical ability, vision, research, commitment, respect and professionalism – these are all essential characteristics of those who work in film.

The BA (Hons) Film Production course is designed to foster these skills and abilities through a wide range of exciting and challenging film production experiences – from the moment of a film’s inception to its final distribution to cinema, streaming platforms or other media to be viewed by the audience.

Our BA (Hons) Film Production course is hands-on from the outset, and you'll gain a solid grounding in fundamental, traditional practices, such as shooting on film, as well as exploring the complex creativities of digital production and modern filmmaking protocols. The specialist and focused nature of the course will help you develop your understanding of the creative and commercial realities of film production.

As well as learning practical filmmaking, you'll study cinema in its various forms to achieve a working knowledge of eclectic practices within fiction and non-fiction filmmaking. Your practical skills are informed by an understanding of the cultural and historical contexts of film practice.

Making films is a collaborative process and teamwork is a key part of the course. You won’t only work with your peers, lecturers, and technicians on the course, but with contemporaries and staff from other subject areas across AUB too. We have formal and informal link-ups with BA (Hons) Acting, BA (Hons) Animation Production, BA (Hons) Costume, BA (Hons) Make-up, Hair and Prosthetics, and others. These collaborations are what builds our creative community here at AUB, with BA (Hons) Film Production at its core.
