Location of University of Westminster
The Westminster Film School is a vibrant meeting place for students, industry professionals and film theorists. It provides world-class courses in film and television production and film theory at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as the opportunity to undertake doctoral and post-doctoral research in theoretical and practical disciplines.
The MA Film and Television is the longest running postgraduate course in the country in the study and research of film and television and retains its strong reputation within the film sector. In addition to theoretical, cultural and critical dimensions, the course offers an overview of the international film industry both historic and contemporary, including production, distribution, exhibition and marketing, from mainstream commercial productions to alternative, experimental and independent film, video and digital work.
Past and present students from all over the world are employed in the film and television sectors: as small-scale producers and film and video makers, or working for larger organisations and TV companies as script consultants, programmers, executives and film educators.
Both part-time and full-time students have made the course the basis for continuing studies as Doctorate students both in the UK and internationally. Throughout the course's history students have taken the course to develop and expand their teaching careers in the further and higher education sectors.
