Summary
Gain a thorough practical education in editing.
Build your skills as an editor in a professional filmmaking environment. Throughout the course, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of practical projects, including animations, fiction films, documentaries, science and natural history programmes, and commercials - working in your own editing suite.
You will work to Industry standards using high-end facilities. You are encouraged to consider your craft as part of the whole process of film and television production and not merely as the final stage, developing your skills as a narrative and technical editor.
You will collaborate with fellow students in other specialisms on a wide range of projects, putting into practice the skills you will learn throughout the course.
**Course Facilities**
Throughout the course, you will have your own dedicated editing suite. We have a large number of specially equipped cutting rooms for digital and 16mm film editing. They are supported by viewing and transfer facilities, 16 NLE systems running AVID Media Composer and Adobe Premiere. In addition to individual editing suites, there are multiple suites open to all students.

Entry requirements | It is our aim to assemble a group of students with diverse and varied backgrounds. There is no 'typical' student or perfect candidate who conforms to a mandatory list of qualifications. You are likely to have some industry experience or training in editing. Your background may be in the arts or other media. While many applicants will have a degree from a British or overseas university, we will consider applicants who do not have a degree if they have an impressive portfolio, a creative track record or an alternative qualification.
