During your time studying Film and Television Production with us, you'll build up a portfolio of creative outputs including films, documentaries, television programmes, scripts, podcasts and digital video content. Your creative development will be nurtured by our friendly and supportive teaching team, whose real-world industry experience and world-leading research expertise will help you take your filmmaking to the next level. You’ll also have full access to our professional facilities and equipment - including our newly updated Television Studio, Editing Suites, Recording Studios and a full range of industry standard camera, lighting, sound gear and software - for your coursework and personal projects.
UEA takes pride in being the ultimate hub for aspiring filmmakers and television creators. While studying with us in Norwich - the creative centre of the East of England – you’ll build up a strong network of likeminded creatives on your course and beyond. You’ll expand this network when you undertake your industry placement in your third year, gaining real-world experience that complements your course and enhances your career prospects.
Our students have interned at a range of local and national media production companies as well as at the East Anglian Film Archive, working and networking with industry professionals in the process. We also have close links with the British Film Institute in London and with film festivals, including the Norwich Film Festival. Our graduates have gone on to success as film industry executives, media managers, producers, and creative directors, or gone to work in film heritage.

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good

My course is pretty relaxing at the moment as it contains a foundation year. Itu2019s pretty easy as it sets you into the basics of computer science. The lectures are easy to understand and follow the workload is manageable and you get support where itu2019s needed
