Course content
Why study this course?
Study a uniquely designed industry-led curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers. You’ll enjoy hands-on experience of professional film equipment, develop high-level production management skills, and gain contemporary insight into crafting natural history narratives.
In our collaborative culture, you’ll develop communication and production skills to engage diverse audiences and have access to talks and events from across the creative industries. You’ll be encouraged to develop a distinctive, personal approach to documentary, with students in the past pursuing diverse genres – from observational and behavioural to expedition and experimental films.
Why UWE Bristol?
As a creative student you’ll be perfectly placed studying in Bristol, an UNESCO City of Film, widely recognised as the global capital of natural history production. Our academic partnership with the BBC's Natural History Unit means you'll have opportunities to frequently meet with professional programme makers, giving you industry insight and knowledge.
We have established ourselves as part of the city’s thriving production community. Where possible you'll receive direct editorial input on your filmmaking from an industry-based mentor, alongside expert input from our sector-leading academics and technical staff.
Where can it take me?
You’ll graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of career options available to you regionally, nationally and internationally.
Equipped with essential skills and specialized knowledge, our graduates are well-prepared for entry-level roles in the wildlife production industry. Most find positions with the BBC or independent production companies in Bristol, across the UK, and internationally. Some graduates also pursue independent funding to create their own future productions.
Our students have been nominated, and won, major emerging talent awards including at BAFTA, Wildscreen, Royal Television Society, Jackson Hole and the International Wildlife Film Festival. Graduation films have been included in BBC broadcasts and in commercial distribution, selling to broadcasters globally.
