Film BA - 2024

What I‘ve enjoyed the most are the people on my course. The tight-knit group dynamic, constant collaboration, and shared experiences create a network of working professionals and close friends. This collaborative environment is crucial in our industry, teaching us how to work effectively with a variety of people.
