Bring your vision to the screen: explore our BA (Hons) Film Business & Production degree

At MetFilm School, we celebrate every craft that shapes the stories we see on screen – from the spark of an idea to the final delivery of the project. Our BA (Hons) Film Business & Production degree is for students who want to understand not only how films are made, but how they are funded, managed, and shown to audiences around the world. This course has been designed to empower the next generation of producers, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders ready to thrive in the modern screen industries.

A course built for the business of storytelling

The BA (Hons) Film Business & Production is a three-year, full-time undergraduate degree created for those who want to bridge creativity and commerce. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the world behind the camera – the place where ideas become viable projects, teams are assembled, and productions come to life.

From the outset, students work alongside peers from the BA (Hons) Filmmaking degree, becoming part of a collaborative production community. This shared creative experience mirrors the realities of the industry, where teamwork and communication underpin every successful project.

Throughout the degree, students gain a deep understanding of production processes while developing essential business expertise. You’ll explore everything from financing strategies and legal principles to distribution pathways, marketing, intellectual property, and emerging industry trends. By the time you graduate, you’ll understand how stories move from concept to audience and how to navigate every stage of that journey.

This future-facing approach reflects the evolving needs of the UK and global screen sectors, where business-minded creatives and producer-entrepreneurs are increasingly in demand.

Learn from industry experts

Teaching on the course is led by industry professionals with extensive experience in film, television, and digital content creation. Their insight brings practical relevance to every module, combining academic rigour with the practical knowledge needed to build a sustainable career.

Through hands-on assessments, including reflective journals, portfolios, presentations, and short filmed outcomes, students develop a professional skillset shaped by current industry practice.

Collaboration at the heart of your learning

Collaboration is in our DNA at MetFilm School, and this degree is no exception. Students regularly work alongside those studying Filmmaking, Screen Acting, and other creative disciplines, mirroring the workflows of professional production environments.

By graduation, you’ll leave with a strong portfolio of work demonstrating your production, organisational, and entrepreneurial abilities.
