Admission Requirements

Admission to a masters degree in film normally requires a bachelor's degree in a related subject, although some programs will take students from other subject areas.

This is to showcase your talent and potential to the course leaders.

You will also need to demonstrate that you are proficient in the teaching language. This can be done through scores on TOEFL and IELTS tests for non-native speakers.
