University recommendations for Film and Screenwriting
Hello! I’m trying to decide where to apply for Uni right now, and would very much appreciate some recommendations.
I’m interested in film and television, specifically in screenwriting though i don’t want to just do a writing degree and would like some practical experience. So far my main choice is Reading as it is my hometown and has a good looking film department with connections to Shinfield studios. However, I’m apprehensive about staying home forever- in a degree like film i worry I’ll just end up living with my parents forever…
My grade predictions are AAA so I’m not super worried on that front. I saw BSU requires a portfolio, which is worrying because I don’t have much to put into one, and between mocks and the application deadline I don’t think i have enough time to make anything impressive? However, the course there interests me a lot.
Somewhere with a good night life would also be great, but not a top priority.

Hi there,
That's so exciting to hear that you want to study a creative subject at uni! We have a Film and Moving Image Production Course which I have linked if you'd like to know more. We have some course-specific ambassadors who are available to chat to through the UniBuddy platform too if that's something you're interested in.
I hope this helps, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions. I know it can be a daunting process, so best of luck!

Hello!
Anglia Ruskin University offers the Film & Television Production course, allowing you to develop practical fimmaking skills in Directing, Cinematography, Screenwriting, as well as many other roles in a production crew. I'm not on this course specifically, but as I do Film Studies I am very familiar with the course and the great resources available. I have friends on this course and I can vouch that it is very practical and hands-on. They get access to great equipment and studio spaces, and the course seems very close-knit, with a great focus on teamwork.
If you would like to learn more, I have linked the course page!
The students also made a great trailer for the course, which you can watch here!
Hope this helps. Feel free to drop a message if you have any more questions!

I've been looking into similar courses as my brother is interested in film - Reading is probably his top choice too but others that have looked interesting are Bristol and Worcester, so they may be worth checking out. Asides from that, I will say one place I would not recommend is Chichester - I know people who studied screenwriting there and they had generally negative experiences with that department.

Hi,
Birmingham City University is actually a really strong choice for film- t’s ranked 7th in the Guardian for Film Production & Photography, which is impressive considering how competitive creative courses are across the UK.
The Filmmaking course at BCU is excellent if you’re looking for hands-on experience. It’s very practical, so you’re not just writing essays about film- you’re actually learning how to shoot, edit, use industry-standard kit, work on sets, and collaborate with actors and other creatives. It’s a very “learn-by-doing” environment, which is perfect if you want to come out with both skills and a real portfolio of work.
The creative community there is also one of the big positives. Because BCU has a lot of arts courses, you’re surrounded by people doing media, music, design, drama, etc., so there’s always someone to collaborate with. It feels like a proper creative hub.
And honestly, Birmingham nightlife is great. It’s one of the best student cities in the UK- loads of clubs, bars, gigs, and cheap student nights. You get the big-city buzz without London prices. There’s always something going on and the student areas are lively but friendly.
If you’re looking for a mix of a strong practical film degree and a fun student city, BCU is definitely worth considering.

Hi,
It sounds like you’ve thought a lot about your choices already. If you’re looking for a degree that combines practical experience with screenwriting, you may be interested in our BA (Hons) Creative Writing and Film Studies.
The course combines practice in screenwriting, digital film production, and other forms of writing with a critical study of film and written texts. As the degree progresses, you can specialise in screenwriting and produce your own scripts for short films, fiction and documentary, as well as longer dramas, and learn to write treatments and pitch your ideas to a professional standard.
You’ll be taught by internationally published poets, novelists, and film industry professionals, and the course regularly hosts guest talks from people renowned in their fields. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to hone your writing and production techniques and produce near-professional standard scripts and short films. The course also encourages independent research and in your final year you can take options in freelance writing or production.
Teaching is based at our Mount Pleasant Campus and the film production facilities are in the Redmonds Building, both close to City Centre. You’ll have access to industry-standard facilities including a production studio, green screen, digital cameras, and editing suites, helping you create an impressive portfolio. Liverpool is the second most filmed city in the UK after London and the perfect place to start your screenwriting and filmmaking career.
The city itself is affordable, vibrant and diverse with a great student life. There are many events and societies for all interests through JMSU, and great study spaces including Mount Pleasant Library, City Campus Library, and the 24/7 Student Life Building.
For more information, check out our course website https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduates/2026/33014-creative-writing-and-film-studies-ba-hons

Hiya! It's great that you're interested in Film and Writing. I was interested in exactly the same as you! I also got the same grades you are predicted so 100% in the same boat.
Have you looked at Liverpool Hope at all? I hadn't heard of it before I began my uni search but couldn't be happier that I ended up here. We offer an amazing course called Film, TV, Radio and Media Production. This course is taught on our Creative Campus, which is a specialist creative and performing arts site. You'll get the opportunity to both theory and practical throughout all three years, and you'll be using industry standard software. Plus, we have direct links with Toxteth TV, a local multi-use creative media and training venue, so you'll work with professionals from outside of Hope as well. When making your short films, you will have the opportunity to write the screenplay (though you will have to take on a practical role in the crew as well such as director, editor, sound) and will have lessons on how to do this. I wrote all 3 of my groups short film scripts and loved it! I was surprised by how much I loved the theory side of things as well. The lecturers are so engaging and helpful, and with us being such a small uni (only 5000-6000 students!) you get the best 1-1 support and so many opportunities.
Alternatively, we have a course called Film & Visual Culture which focuses on just the film/photography side of the other course (including both theory and practical). This has to be combined with another subject. There are a large range, and if you end up interested in any that are taught at our Hope Park campus, don't worry! There's a free shuttle bus between campuses for our combined honours students!
I loved studying Film at Hope, and would always recommend it to anyone. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do!

Hi! It’s great you are thinking about Reading. Here at Reading Uni we offer a huge range of film-related courses. I don’t study film myself, but here’s a quick overview of what it’s like:
At Minghella Studios, students are trained to become confident, knowledgeable filmmakers and TV creators. The facilities are purpose-built and worth £11 million, including a multi-camera film and TV studio, a digital cinema, and dedicated spaces for recording and sound mixing.
If you study film or television here, you’ll explore the history, styles and social impact of the screen industries while also working hands-on in areas like directing, lighting, sound, projection and post-production such as editing, colour grading, and sound mixing. There’s also a brilliant team of technicians on hand to support your projects.
The department is home to leading academics with expertise in areas such as:
• world cinema
• digital effects
• comedy and performance
• youth TV
• environmental cinema
• action cinema
• documentary filmmaking
• scriptwriting
• videographic criticism
Being at Reading places you right in the middle of one of the UK’s fastest-growing screen industry hubs. As you mentioned you will be close to Shinfield Studios!!, where shows like Netflix’s Bridgerton and productions from Disney, including Star Wars: The Acolyte and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, have recently filmed. The University is part of the wider Screen Berkshire partnership, and also works with organisations like Albert Education, ARRI Certified Film School, FEST, Rabble Theatre, Reading Rep, Climate Change Theatre Action and South Street Theatre.
The department is also part of the BAFTA Albert sustainability scheme, which supports environmentally responsible filmmaking. Reading is one of the leading UK universities for environmental and sustainability work, ranking 4th in the world in the People & Planet University Awards 2024/25.
We have a great Students’ Union with over 100 societies and plenty of daytime and evening events, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you’re thinking about living arrangements, first-year students with a firm offer are guaranteed on-campus accommodation. I personally commute from home, so that is an option too.
If you want to know more, you can send questions directly to the Film Department or to Admissions.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I’m happy to help.

Hi There!
First of all, I love your username, John Waters really is one of the greats!
My name is Josh and I am a Film Studies graduate at LJMU and I am currently studying the MA in Film because I loved the undergraduate course so much.
If screenwriting is something you really want to do with some experience in filmmaking, the course at LJMU would be perfect for you.
The course is a hybrid course, which means that you will have to do practical filmmaking modules alongside some theoretical modules, and even if you aren't too interested in the theory, it will be extremely useful when it comes to writing for screen.
Screenwriting/ Practical Modules
In the first year of the course, there is a module called Writing for Screen. This module is led by Dr Eleanor Yule, who was a screenwriter for the BBC for over 20 years. The module goes over the basics of screenwriting and by the end of the module you will have a finalised draft of a screenplay for your own short film. As well as this, in first year, students do two filmmaking modules, one called Production Skills and the other called Post-Production Skills, these modules teach you the basics of filmmaking and how to shoot the film as well as editing. These modules will really help if you want to be a screenwriter too as they will show you how the crew follow the script through the production and post-production sides of filmmaking. They will also show you what is realistic and what isn't realistic for shooting a scene, helping you visualise what to write in a script.
In second year, students will study a module called Fiction Filmmaking, and students will make their own fiction film in this module, so groups will need a script at the start of this filmmaking process. Also in second year, students will study the Documentary Filmmaking module, and they will have the choice to take the Experimental Filmmaking module if they want to. Also in second year, we have an employability module called Working in Film, this module is where you will do a research portfolio of how you will get into the profession you want to get into, and it will also teach you skills of networking, so if you want to be a screenwriter professionally, it will teach you all the skills you will need to know to get there.
In third year, students will study two big filmmaking modules called Final Film Pre-Production and Final Film production. This is where students will make their big final film at the end of the university course. The Pre-Production module lasts around 4-months and groups work really closely with the screenwriting lecturers to make sure that the final film script is the best it can be. As well as this, for the Film Thesis module, instead of writing a big dissertation, students have the option to do the screenwriting option, where they will plan and write their own screenplay as a thesis. As you can see, there are lots of different options to write screenplays and develop your screenwriting skills throughout the course.
Theory Modules
Although you are more practice based than theory based, some of the theory modules will be very useful for you when writing scripts.
In first year, all students will study Film Language, a module that teaches how to decode and analyse films, such as what different camera angles and editing techniques mean, as well as analysing the use of sound and mise-en-scene in film. Students will understand how meaning is created in film, so if you are trying to create meaning in your scripts, you can use a lot of these skills in your scripts.
As well as this, students also study the Film Theory module, where students will learn about lots of different theories about Genre, Postmodernism, Feminism, Masculinity, Audience Reception, Marxism, Realism, Formalism, etc. This module is arguably the most important on the course as all screenplays will conform to many of these theories. For example, you might really enjoy the lecture on realism and want to write a screenplay in a realist tone and base it on the theories you have learnt on this course. The best screenplays are the ones that have theories embedded!
Screen School Facilities
At LJMU there are lots of different facilities available to students:
Equipment Store: Students can book our cameras, tripods, lighting kit, microphones, or any other kit whenever they want via the online booking system, so even if you just want time to practice with the kit, or if you want to make your own films in your free time, you can.
PULSS: We have a department called PULSS, which stands for the Production Unit For Liverpool Screen School, where companies will come to the university asking for students to work on their productions (most of these opportunities are paid) and a lot of these opportunities are screenwriting opportunities.
Online Software- The university gives students a full Adobe package, so they have access to editing software such as Premiere Pro, AfterEffects and any other Adobe apps. In terms of screenwriting, the university pays for students to have unlimited access to FadeIn to use for screenwriting.
TV Studio/ Filming Spaces- We have a professional TV Studio which can be booked out for filming projects as well as multiple green screen areas.
I hope this helps tell you a bit more about the course at LJMU. As well as just a Film course, we also offer a Media Production Course and a combination of Film Studies with Creative Writing if you wanted to do more creative writing alongside the course.
