About Film (Documentary), MA - at University of South Wales

This Documentary Film masters degree is all about telling human stories through film. Working with top industry practitioners and alongside BBC Wales' training scheme It's My Shout, you will learn the importance of storytelling, self-shooting and single camera 'guerilla' filmmaking.

Students on this documentary filmmaking masters course will also have the chance to pitch your ideas to real factual commissioners including Channel 4 and the BBC.

You will study in the heart of Cardiff, home to a thriving film and TV industry, including Pinewood Studio Wales and BBC Wales, where shows including Doctor Who and Sherlock are filmed.

Industry masterclasses, guest lectures and an in-depth work experience opportunity at a Wales-based creative company will allow you to build your portfolio and network with industry professionals.
