Field trips

We believe that field trips are a great way to broaden your perspectives and take your learning outside the classroom. That's why, in recent years, we have taken our students to the Camerimage film festival in Poland, where they have enjoyed sessions with big names such as David Lynch and Lana Wachowski. They have also been to explore the set of ITV's Victoria in nearby Church Fenton. A number of our students were also invited to take part in an annual NBC Universal pitching competition in London.

Practical experience

You will often work on live projects with industry professionals. Past projects have included filming Red Nose Day, reporting on Fashion City York events, and pitching to digital media agencies. We encourage you to use our network to build yours.

Our industry connections mean we can help you gain work experience that sets you apart. Our students have gained work placements at the BBC, Emmerdale, True North, Orillo Films and more. Our partnership with Screen Yorkshire also means you will be based right at the heart of the country's fastest growing film and TV production hub.

Events

We provide plenty of opportunities for you to build a network of contacts from film and media industries. Our partnership with the BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival gives you exclusive access to industry masterclasses. In recent years this has included crew from Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Hot Fuzz and the Harry Potter films.

Past students have attended Royal Television Society (RTS) industry masterclasses and events, including the Yorkshire Centre Student Awards, winning 9 RTS awards so far. In your final year we host an awards night to celebrate your achievements. This event is attended by industry practitioners who judge and present the awards.
