Study MA Wildlife Filmmaking and you'll get the production skills you need to capture the natural world in a way that engages your audience. From finding and developing film ideas, building practical skills in camera, sound and editing, to crucial production management skills, you'll become a confident wildlife filmmaker.

Bristol is the global capital of natural history production. Our partnership with the BBC Natural History Unit (NHU) means you'll have opportunities to network with professional wildlife filmmakers to gain industry knowledge. You'll also have the chance to attend talks, film festivals and other events around the city to get inspiration and boost your creativity.

Engaging, industry-led teaching

Our MA Wildlife Filmmaking is based at Bower Ashton, part of our City Campus, in the creative heart of Bristol. You'll get hands on in our modern production facilities and resources including an industry-standard TV production studio and post-production facilities.

Throughout the course, you'll develop a range of production skills through attending technical workshops, seminars, and industry masterclasses. Where possible, you'll be assigned to a BBC production mentor during your final module, who'll provide editorial input for your film projects.

Exciting graduate prospects

On completion, you'll graduate with the creative skills and specialist knowledge needed for entry level roles in the wildlife production industry. Many graduates have secured positions with the BBC and independent production companies based in Bristol, the UK and overseas.

Some of our MA students have been nominated for their films and won major awards from industry leaders. These include BAFTA LA, Wildscreen, Royal Television Society (RTS), Jackson Hole and International Wildlife Film Festival (IWFF). Graduation films have also been used in BBC broadcasts and commercial distribution.
