HELP!! MA Cinematography - 1 Year courses - University selection

Hey guys, hope everyone's doing well.

I'm Rithesh, from India. I'm looking at pursuing a 1 year program in Cinematography in 2023. I'd jotted down a couple of universities but am having trouble in selecting the best fit for me since I'm getting polar reviews whilst approaching different people.

Preferences:
- Course needs to be more Practical
- University must have good ties to the industry
- Good Networking opportunities
- Happening Student +City life (low priority but would help in networking)

Universities Selected (in no particular order):
1. University of Arts, London - MA Film
2. Goldsmiths University - MA Filmmaking (Cinematography)
3. University of York - MA Film and Television Production with Cinematography
4. Bournemouth University - MA Cinematography for Film & Television
5. Arts University Bournemouth - MA Film Practice


Do let me know if I've missed out on some good programs and what you guys think would be the best option.

Thanks again.

I'm not sure how helpful this will be but it is a way of getting some official data on the institutions/subject areas. Have a look at similar undergrad courses at each institution, check out the NSS results from 2021 (bear in mind that this data reflects the tail end of COVID). https://discoveruni.gov.uk/

Hello, actually i'm also currently looking for the exact course (film production MA) can you give me an update for what you have found till now? Or maybe you already enroll in those univ that you have mentioned above? Some tips will be a great help, Thankyou!
You missed Hertfordshire MA Film Production on your list. Top 6 in the U.K. for taught postgrad in the PTES survey. CILECT and ScreenSkills accredited and a Student Academy Award winning programme.
