The MBA Film Production degree is intended for students who have not previously specialized in production during their undergraduate studies. Previous experience or education in filmmaking is not required, but it can be helpful. The film and entertainment industries are rapidly evolving due to digital technology, and they represent growing areas of society as people increasingly shift towards a more leisure-focused way of life.
The programme prioritizes practical learning based on theory and involves real-world industry projects and practice-based assessments. Graduates should be fully equipped with the skills necessary for financing, marketing, and distributing films within the industry.
This postgraduate degree can be completed in one year on a full-time basis or over two to three years on a part-time basis. The course includes a taught component to prepare students for a significant dissertation or film industry project.
To be eligible for this program, applicants must meet one of two criteria: either they must have an undergraduate honours degree at 2:2 or higher (including diploma and transcripts), or possess a relevant professional qualification at an equivalent level, in addition to at least two years of relevant management experience. Alternatively, applicants may have substantial management or leadership experience, typically in a middle or senior management role, and demonstrate clear potential to operate at a postgraduate level. In addition, applicants must provide a resume or CV, a personal statement, and two recommendation letters. They must also meet English language requirements, which can be demonstrated through a 6.5 IELTS score, 90 iBT TOEFL score, 232 CBT TOEFL score (TOEFL cannot be used for visa purposes in the UK), CAE 176-184 with no less than 162 in each score, or a Pearson Qualification score of 58-64 with no less than 42-49 in each component. Students have up to 90 days to submit their English Language Proficiency scores. Finally, applicants must provide a photocopy of their passport or ID document and a passport-sized photograph.
