UCAS code: W620
Here's what University of Westminster, London says about its Film course.
At Westminster we develop thinking filmmakers who have something to say to, and about, the world.
This three-year degree is one of the best-known film courses in the world, with an international reputation for its academic and practical teaching. We operate from a purpose-built facility in Harrow, with two large film and television studios, a set construction workshop, and extensive post-production facilities. The Harrow campus also houses design, photography, music, fashion, and animation degrees, enabling a unique hothouse of creative opportunity.
The environment is both academic and creative, with all students studying film theory alongside their practical work. You'll collaborate creatively as you learn production specialisms in writing, producing, cinematography, directing, production design, editing and sound. In addition to theoretical and creative content, you’ll also receive support in professional practice skills such as self-promotion, networking and freelancing.
We have an excellent network of industry contacts who contribute to teaching on the course and we remain in frequent contact with graduates who’ve gone on to successful and sustained careers in the field. Notable alumni include cinematographer Seamus McGarvey (The Greatest Showman and Nocturnal Animals), director Asif Kapadia (Senna and Amy and screenwriter/producer Neal Purvis (No Time to Die and Skyfall). Recently Yasmin Afifi won the 2024 BAFTA Best British Short Film for Jellyfish & Lobster. Our student films have been shown at festivals globally and have won awards through NAHEMI, the Royal Television Society, the Student Academy Awards, the Grierson Documentary Awards and the Learning-on-Screen Awards.

Timetable, course structure and contents where great, although many of the teachers seem to know a lot and have a lot of expertise on their subject, but have not teaching qualities to make content interactive and appealing
