1st Year – Foundation Year
The students acquire the basic concepts, methods and skills of television and film production in preparation for the intermediate and advanced training they will receive in the following years.
2nd Year – All about skills
It’s not what you know that counts, it’s what you can do well. The curriculum is transversal, developing key competences in all major areas of the industry. Students also choose one of three majors: cinematography, editing or production.
3rd Year – Professionalization
As in the second year, the first semester focuses on television while the second semester on cinema, mainly with more emphasis on advanced techniques and working methods. Students must achieve the required level of professional competence to pass the diploma.
Learning through projects is in the DNA of our teaching method. Throughout the three years, the students write, produce and direct a number of films. They work in teams, with each student taking a different role from project to project.
