Liam Wells,
Course Leader

This cohort have shown they have the skills, knowledge and drive to start careers in a booming UK industry. Demonstrating effective collaboration, creative thinking and technical craft skills, our graduates work across a diverse range of specialisms - from screenwriting and production to sound and cinematography.

Skills and
experience

Every student worked in multiple roles across multiple productions, including areas that are currently 'hard to recruit' for in our industry such as production assistant, assistant director and art department assistant. This experience ensures NUA graduates are ready to fill the skills shortages in our industries.

Masterclass in
storytelling

Our Y3 students had the unique opportunity to join two storytelling masterclasses with John Yorke, author of 'Into the Woods', former Controller of Drama Production at the BBC and Head of Drama at Channel Four. He worked with them to understand, critique and further develop the storytelling in their screenplays.

Student film
festival

For GradFest22, our graduating cohort worked with the course team to curate, promote and manage a three-day film festival, screening their short film work and specialist show-reels to a public audience in NUA's Production Theatre. They worked in small teams to curate and run each screening and Q&A.

In May, some of our graduating cohort worked on a live production for BFI Into Film, producing a short documentary exploring the work of director Richard Bracewell on his feature film Bill (2015), a film featuring the Horrible Histories team. The short film will be used for film education across schools in the UK.
