Location of Edinburgh Napier University
Breaking into the film or television industries takes skill, experience and contacts - all of which you'll gain in this course. Part of Screen Academy Scotland and endorsed by Skillset (the sector skills council for the creative media), the course is one of the few in the UK that focus on the real creative and business skills of producing. You'll have direct access to industry professionals, and the chance to collaborate with writers and directors on Screen Academy projects. This is more than a theoretical grounding - you'll graduate with experience and industry contacts, ready to make your name in film or television production, or progress to a further qualification.
Skills
Working in collaboration on scripts, documentaries and interactive projects, you'll gain script development skills and learn to work within a creative team. You'll also be guided through the business processes involved in bringing a project to life, from acquiring rights to budgeting, finance and distribution. Learning the processes is just the beginning: you'll be undertaking very real projects that allow you to apply your skills and gain experience in liaising with active industry professionals and business contacts, both local and abroad.
Career Prospects
As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career.
Competition in the industry is fierce, but your experience and contacts will set you apart. As a graduate, you'll have the option of self employment on a project basis or a permanent role with a screen-based business. Possible roles include:
* creative producer
* script editor
* development producer
* researcher.
You may also take on a career in production, distribution or sales, or progress to MFA Advanced Film Practice.

Applicants meeting the minimum academic or RPL requirements will normally be interviewed and/or asked to produce evidence of aptitude, ability to benefit from the programme and appropriate experience.
