Introducing New April 2025 Start Dates
Exciting news for aspiring cinematographers and directors. MetFilm School London is adding a new April 2025 intake for its MA Cinematography and MA Directing courses. This additional spring start offers you an incredible opportunity to kickstart your film and TV journey sooner, alongside the already established April intake for the popular MA Film and Television Production course.
Now, students can begin their studies in April for both Cinematography and Directing, giving you a head start towards building a successful career in film and TV at one of the UK’s most iconic film schools, set within the legendary Ealing Studios, where some of the film industry’s most celebrated figures have honed their craft. Dara Kilkenny, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Screen & Film, shared her enthusiasm about this new entry point.
“We’re thrilled to offer this flexible start date in April. This innovative approach means we can create more opportunities for talented individuals to pursue their passion for film, regardless of when they’re ready to start. And, most importantly, it means they can gain entry to the industry sooner.”

- Greater flexibility for international students: The April intake offers more flexibility for visa arrangements and a smoother transition into life at MetFilm School.
- Faster degree completion: Complete your master’s degree sooner than those starting in September.
- Competitive edge in the job market: Graduate earlier, gaining hands-on skills and industry experience to step into the film and TV world faster, ready to make your mark as a cinematographer or director.
