Summary
**In partnership with BBC Film Studios**
Could you develop, finance and produce a feature film or high-end TV drama?
As a creative producer, you will train in the four key skills you need to succeed in the industry: creative development; hands-on producing; finance and business affairs; and distribution/sales.
As a student, you will lead teams made up from the other disciplines at the School to produce at least three films to industry standard. You will undertake a Cannes Festival work placement and will be individually mentored by a successful producer through the second year of the course.
As a graduate, you may well go on to work as a producer or executive in the UK and/or internationally. Typically, new graduates combine their own project development with paid employment in various roles across the film and TV industries (assistants to producers, development associates, producing short commissions).
**Course Facilities**
You will be working at the only UK film school with its own film studio alongside a 4K television studio, rehearsal stages and exhaustive production facilities, giving you invaluable experience that reflects the Industry.

Entry requirements | We’re looking for people with a lively and proven interest in film, television and the world about us. You’ll ideally have a strong personality; good communication skills; a commitment to story-telling; and the ability to work collaboratively. Your role as producer is a many-sided one that means you’ll need skills that encompass creative intelligence, team leadership, and problem-solving. 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. If you have any questions, please email info@nfts.co.uk. |
