The MFA Advanced Film Practice programme aims to equip you with the creative, professional and technical knowledge you will need to enter the professional arena as a writer, producer or director.

The programme is delivered through a series of lectures, seminars, screenings, workshops and tutorials. There are also regular masterclasses and visits from professionals working at the highest level in the industry. You will also write, produce and/or direct a short film project to professional standards with a budget provided by the Screen Academy.

You will also have the chance to meet and work with other post and undergraduate film students at Napier University, Edinburgh College of Art and the other members of the UK-wide Skillset Screen Academy network and to present your work to visiting industry professionals. You may also have the opportunity to collaborate with students or graduates of other European film schools through our ENGAGE programme of international workshops.
