Your career
Graduate careers include direct progression into the industry, and we will support you in securing mentors and work placements while you are a student. Graduates can progress to become freelance producers and entrepreneurs as well as enjoying employment opportunity across the whole sector which comprises the largest group of production studios in Europe (Pinewood studios, Shepperton studios and Leavesden studios, home to the Harry Potter franchise) as well as the large post-production facilties and special effects industries, which London is a global hub city.
Other wider employment opportunities include areas such as facilities management, production insurance and finance companies as well as areas of talent management. We also expect a significant number of graduates to have opportunities working for broadcast television, independent television production companies and for the streaming services notably Amazon and Netflix both of which run their European headquarters from London.
One of the striking features of those with production skills is the level of transferable skills that they acquire, and we expect to embed these as part of your training within the MA. Notably, this will cover the logistical, analytical and leadership skills that are so much a part of professional production, and which can of course be applied very widely outside the world of filmmaking.
