School of Film & Television

We’ve taught filmmaking at Falmouth for over 50 years. Our state-of-the-art kit and facilities, placement opportunities, industry connections and sheer enthusiasm for telling stories help us produce award-winning, employable graduates.

Focusing on getting you into the industry, we offer an immersive and demanding experience across the full range of creative production roles and responsibilities - in both the technical and conceptual aspects of filmmaking. You can work on real paid jobs from our creative film agency MAYN, or get a role on one of our in-house micro-budget feature films while you study.
