Overview

MA Producing offers students a unique opportunity to develop the necessary skills to become the next generation of entrepreneurs in the screen business world. The programme aims to provide insight into, and mastery of, creative development, physical production, and business and finance in relation to the creative screen industries.

The producing course is designed to be skill specific (budgeting, production management, raising finance, idea development, pitching) and interdisciplinary (group productions, brainstorming, team building). Threaded through the programme are opportunities for you to meet and collaborate with students on complementary pathways and to build your own professional profile. We want you not only to understand your own role, but to get the bigger picture – how do others think, how does industry work?
