Department

Manchester School of Art is a centre of excellence in teaching and practice led research, located in the centre of Manchester, a city that is now the second largest creative, digital and media hub in Europe. The creative industries are growing faster here than in any other city in the UK, with the recent development of Media City and Space film Studios as markers of the ambition Manchester fosters.

The university is committed to contributing to the creative future of the city by working in partnership with professionals at national and international levels. We produce innovative researchers and graduates who have originality, creativity and ambition to lead the future development of their related industry. The BA (Hons) Filmmaking is evolving and has become one of the largest undergraduate programmes in the Manchester School of Art, and is central to the future planning for an international Screen School, with an advisory board co-chaired by Danny Boyle and Nicola Schindler. The filmmaking degree offers a unique programme that blends industry film production standards, with artist moving image traditions, grounding learning within an art school ethos with a commercial industry facing sensibility.

We aim to produce the most creative and stylish students (from professional artists to commercial movie directors). Recent alumni have won BFI producers vision awards, the prestigious Deutsche bank award for Creative Enterprise and Elton John’s ‘The Cut’ music video competition.
