Postgraduate taught courses

Why study a Media Production course at BU?

  • All our courses are accredited by the International Moving Image Society (IMIS) in recognition of our industry-standard teaching
  • We offer an industry-replicating collaborative framework, so that you can specialise and develop higher-level skills and responsibilities in your own chosen craft while working with others across the production disciplines
  • We operate, in effect, like a large production studio. Writers, directors and producers pitch ideas and scripts to the whole group and production teams are formed through negotiation. The staff team are, in effect, the executive producers, greenlighting and supervising projects through production
  • Students and graduates from our courses have gone on to work on award-winning films and programmes, as well as winning awards themselves. These include; Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Peterloo, Son of Saul, The Night Manager, Troy: Fall of a City, MasterChef, Iron Man, Gravity and The Death of Stalin.
