The new MA in Documentary Practice draws from our 30 years of experience teaching film and television in the School of Communications. It's our response to the increasing interest from students and the growing demand in the industry for long form documentary content. Furthermore, we provide access to cutting-edge facilities, including a recently constructed media studio equipped with leading industry grade digital cinema cameras, sound recording equipment, and editing tools. There is a dedicated post production lab and a screening room on campus that only students on this course have access to. This ensures our students have access to the best resources for honing their skills and achieving their creative aspirations. |
