Check fees and funding optionsYour story. Your crew. Your film. And the skills that make it taught our BA (Hons) Film Production degree course.
Every module is practical. You'll be investigating, analysing and critiquing the films you love. First year, you experiment across every role: directing, shooting, editing, sound, producing. Second year deepens your craft through dedicated fiction and documentary modules. Third year is your graduate film – a major collaborative production where you lead a department.
Our VP studio features a curved LED screen with ceiling panels, meaning you can shoot in locations you'd never be able to access – a cave, a skyscraper roof, a desert island – all without leaving campus. You'll also work alongside games students who build virtual environments for your shoots, opening up a convergence between film and interactive media that's reshaping the industry right now.
At a solely creative arts university, everyone in the coffee queue is a potential partner: actors, musicians, sound engineers, prop makers. Collaboration between courses is what UCA is all about. By third year, you'll have a network of creative professionals you know and trust – your future crew already on your close friends list.
Your lecturers aren't retired from the industry – they're still in it. Screenwriters, documentary filmmakers, editors, directors, and technicians with a passion for the craft that our students love. They don't just sign out equipment – they challenge your choices, refine your kit list, and make sure you're getting the best possible result from every shoot.
UCA courses are built around the things we know matter most to creative students:
Get practical and stuck in – spend most of your time in studios and workshops. Over 80% of our teaching spaces are studios, workshops, or labs.
Understand history, culture and context to give your work depth. Our degrees were established by BAFTA and Oscar winners.
Collaboration is built into the curriculum, where you’ll make friends and future creative partners. Our Shared modules link work from students from up to 15 courses. This module focuses on how you collaborate, not what you deliver. Setting you up for success in a creative community.
Build skills, resilience, and industry awareness that prepare you for a successful creative career. Our courses have been designed with industry, focussing on your professional pathway, you’ll learn about grant applications, self-employment, and how to nail creative job interviews.
Inclusive assessment, synchronised deadlines, and a student experience built with real life in mind. Our courses are focussed on being inclusive. We listen to our students, and you learn and get feedback how you want it.

The Kodak/NAHEMI Commercial Awards are a competition for student filmmakers to make a 30 second commercial from one roll of 400ft negative film stock.
This year, briefs were provided by the advertising agencies McCann, Libertine and TBWA.
This opportunity for students to shoot on film, a rarity in today’s digital age, gave students a deeper connection to the roots of cinema, transforming the project into both a learning experience and a celebration of the medium.

Film Production alum Kate Herron has directed major television series from Sex Education to Loki, but her most recent achievement was writing a new episode for Doctor Who.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/doctor-who-kate-herron.jpg)
She and co-writer Briony Redman penned the popular episode, Rogue, starring Jonathan Groff and the new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/Kate-Herron-new-.jpg)
The main focus with Rogue was making sure he was a worthy match for the Doctor, in terms of lore we were mainly having fun and inventing a new villain and a new love interest in Rogue.
It was very joyful getting to add to this already rich world.
Kate said she and Briony wrote the episode with Ncuti in mind, even though he had not been cast as the new Doctor at that time.
"It was thrilling to see Ncuti play someone new and his take on the Doctor. He's a fantastic actor and it was an honour to be a part of that new chapter for him."
/prod01/channel_8/media/uca-2020/images/granite-test/2023---stories/Kate-Herron-Loki.jpg)
And what's next for Kate? Well, she's directed episodes for Season 2 of The Last of Us, and she's been confirmed as director and co-writer of the forthcoming The Sims movie.

Craig Luck Craig graduated from UCA in 2010 with a BA (Hons) in Film Production.
When he wrote the initial story while studying at UCA, intending for it to be a short film
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/blog-imagery/Finch_Photo_0101.jpg)
“I wrote FINCH with no-one in mind, certainly not Tom Hanks... There's a good reason why everyone loves Tom Hanks, and it's because he's genuine and extremely talented at what he does. His decision to say ‘Yes’ to us changed my life more than he'll ever know.”
It was a strange, full-circle moment when the film launched on Apple TV+
Craig worked in an Apple Store after graduating, while also trying to get the short film version of FINCH (then known as BIOS) made.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/blog-imagery/IMG_7990-copy.jpg)
Seeing this small project grow into what it is today is surreal. I find it increasingly difficult to say ‘a dream come true’ because the reality is, it was beyond a dream at the time!
With FINCH now streaming, Craig is working on new projects, including a film called Interloper, which is still in development.

Creative Contexts; 30 credits
This module explores the crucial contextual basis for filmmaking alongside working on practical narrative film projects. Aspects of film language, narrative theory and structure, sound theory, editing aesthetics and character-paradigms will be discussed and practically developed. This module offers the opportunity to explore essential contextual knowledge to fuel filmmaking. This module will be taught through lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. Health and Safety training will take place before any filmmaking takes place.
Career Catalyst: Skills & Capability; 30 credits
This skills-building module develops creative, technical and digital capability aligned to professional standards through experimentation, problem-solving and discipline-specific workshop learning. You build both direct and transferable skills, developing your craft alongside your ideas and gaining confidence across a breadth of roles, processes and creative practices. Through practical projects supported by feedback and reflection, the module strengthens professional literacy and prepares you to apply your skills effectively within and beyond your discipline, laying the foundations for future study, collaboration, industry engagement and professional growth.
Filmmaking Contexts; 30 credits
You will continue the development of contextual understanding in both scripted and unscripted films. Film evolutions (film history) and revolutions (movements) will be studied and practically developed. This module incorporates collaboration across courses and looks towards film futures. This module takes your contextual knowledge and filmmaking skills beyond fiction filmmaking and into the future. It is the first module to address your professional development. This module will be taught through lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. Sustainability training will take place to extend you as a conscious practitioner.
Hybrid Practices; 30 credits
This module has an interdisciplinary approach, extending the skills acquired in the other modules to work with specialists from other courses. Working in groups, collaboratively and in an interdisciplinary environment is a key skill employers look for in film production graduates. The module is delivered mostly through practical workshops, production meetings and lectures.
Fiction Filmmaking; 30 credits
In this module you will develop your fiction filmmaking ideas, storytelling skills and ability to collaborate. Alongside your filmmaking, the module will teach you to conduct moving image analysis and will introduce you to relevant critical theory. In addition, cinema from around the world will be studied, widening your perspective on filmmaking. Making exciting, relevant screen stories is what brings many students to study at UCA. This module provides the critical skills you need to make relevant and ethical films for the audiences of tomorrow. The module is delivered through lectures, seminars, workshops, screenings and tutorials.
Career Catalyst: Communities & Influence; 30 credits
This module emphasises collaboration, participation and real-world impact through the exploration of contemporary and emerging professional contexts. You develop knowledge of film crew roles, examining how they operate now and how they are evolving in relation to industry change, interdisciplinary practice and new platforms. Through collaborative and co-creative project work, you explore how traditional film working practices connect to related fields such as games, animation, television and social media, and how creative practice creates value, influence and opportunity beyond cinema or broadcast contexts. The module supports professional agency, teamwork and network-building by relating crew roles and collaborative processes to current industry practice, including opportunities to work alongside students from other disciplines and to engage with real audiences, trends and professional contexts. This interdisciplinary approach encourages you to think about film material in expanded, contemporary contexts, strengthening professional awareness, adaptability and future career prospects within creative, civic and global industries.
Documentary Filmmaking; 30 credits
You will develop your ideas in relation to current issues and teach you how to engage in real events to develop a creative documentary. Alongside your filmmaking, the module will introduce you to current discourses in documentary practice. This will be accompanied by an exploration of ethical practice as a filmmaker. Documentaries have a social impact, and many have a concern to explore or perhaps amplify your lived experience. Many find a true vocation in this medium because of the real-world engagement. You will also reflect on how “reality” is constructed by media. The module is delivered through lectures, seminars, workshops, screenings and tutorials.
Digital Futures; 30 credits
You will explore experimental forms of digital storytelling that examine how narratives are created within contemporary digital culture. Working collaboratively, you will prototype non-linear, interactive, and immersive narrative practice-based work using emergent and emerging technologies. Your practice prioritises experimentation, iteration, and learning through failure over polished outcomes. You will engage with theories of narrative, and authorship to understand how digital platforms, algorithms, and technologies shape meaning and cultural storytelling. These ideas help you critically examine the ethical, social, and environmental implications of digital narrative systems and your role as a creative practitioner within them. You will learn through lab-based workshops, collaborative studio practice, and iterative critique. Sessions focus on rapid prototyping, peer feedback, and reflective discussion, with space to adapt methods in response to emergent/emerging technologies and your developing interests.
If you opt to complete a professional practice year, this will take place in year three. You will undertake a placement within the creative industries to further develop your skills and CV.
While on your Professional Practice Year, you will be required to pay a reduced tuition fee for that year. This fee will be determined using government funding regulations. Based on current regulations, we expect this to be a maximum of 20% of the tuition fee rate that you are charged for your second year of study. You will also incur additional travel and accommodation costs during this year. The University will provide you with further advice and guidance about this as you approach your Professional Practice Year.
Please note: If you are an international applicant, you will need to enrol onto the course ‘with Professional Practice Year’. It will not be possible to transfer onto the Professional Practice Year after enrolment
Creative Research; 30 credits
You will select a research project or theme to become an expert in. You will develop your research skills, your critical thinking skills and your ability to communicate a complex idea. You will be looking at work, researching and practicing an aspect of filmmaking which is at the forefront of the filmmaking disciplines. Graduates and filmmakers need an exceptional ability to research and synthesise subject matter. You need to understand your craft conceptually as well as practically. This module allows you to explore a practical issue and/or a concept in depth as practice as research experiment. You will work with an individual member of staff as well as take part in group tutorials and seminars to explore your work further.
Career Catalyst: Futures & Direction; 30 credits
This module supports your transition beyond graduation by developing your professional profile and preparing you to enter, shape and sustain work within the film and related creative industries. You consolidate learning through portfolio development, research and forward planning while exploring routes into employment, freelance practice, entrepreneurship and further study. The module supports you to identify and address gaps in your professional knowledge, including how freelancers operate, how to manage finances across multiple projects and how to position yourself effectively within contemporary creative industries. Working alongside the pre-production phase of your Major Project, you develop audience-facing materials such as trailers, sizzle reels, behind-the-scenes content and funding proposals, using these to understand how projects are launched, financed and connected to audiences. You also explore related professional contexts including casting, arts venues and postgraduate education, enabling you to understand the full range of creative and professional pathways available to you and to make informed decisions about your future direction.
Major Project; 60 credits
This final module is the culmination of your studies in filmmaking and film production. You will be using the range of skills and personal qualities you have developed on the course to be part of a graduate film project. Your graduate film will be the culmination of your degree studies and can be added to your showreel. The documentation which accompanies it will help you marketing your skills to the film industry employers and help you make further film projects. This module is taught through group tutorial, production meetings and group discussion. Staff are there to support your filmmaking process throughout and to guide you to learn as much as you can with this final project. Whilst the project itself is important, it is your learning through making the project which will stay with you when you graduate.
