With flexible durations and practical, hands-on teaching, these courses are designed to fit around busy lives while delivering industry-relevant skills.

Broadening Opportunities
This expansion is part of a wider initiative to make MetFilm School’s acclaimed training accessible to more diverse audiences, including career changers and those seeking a flexible, practical way to develop their craft.

“For over 21 years, our short courses have provided a launchpad for a wide range of filmmakers and screen actors—from new entrants and career changers to those advancing their specialist skills. Whether seeking something smaller and more flexible than undergraduate or postgraduate options, or simply a better fit for their individual needs, we’re proud to support their creative journeys. Today, we’re excited to expand this opportunity across all our campuses, reaching even more aspiring creatives.”
With a rich heritage of excellence in filmmaking education, MetFilm School continues to shape the future of the creative industries. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, there’s never been a better time to explore our courses.
