Background: I am currently an undergraduate medical student in my second year of medical school. Our school offers an option to intercalate abroad during my third year in any subject, and since film is something I have always been passionate about, I've been looking to take a one year film course, preferably in London (as that's where I'd like to study).
Problem: Since I only have one year, I can only pick MA film courses (although I have also found some certificate courses that last a year long). All the schools I have looked at, which I will put down as a list below, state that while an undergraduate degree is a requirement for entry, former industry experience or demonstration of an ability to succeed at an MA level may be accepted, and that they can also consider individuals holistically on a case-to-case basis. While I do not have a first degree or any former industry experience, I believe I do have the ability to build a compelling enough portfolio as I have made a few short films in the past.
Question: I am wondering in my case, realistically, how likely will these schools accept me? Or is the chance of my success based on my qualifications very low, that it is probably not worth the effort of applying?
Schools I have looked at: University of Arts of London, Raindance, MET film school, Central University, Goldsmith University, Kingston University, University for the Creative Arts.
P.S. If there are any one year long film courses in the UK (preferably London) that do not require a first degree or much prior experience, please let me know.
