For a film education that’s hands-on, high-impact, and fast-paced, head to MetFilm School at BIMM University. Based in Ealing Studios in London, this is the film and creative capital to study in. Here, undergraduate, postgraduate, and short courses use real briefs with real deadlines to set you up with a portfolio set to impress your future recruiter, whether that’s in film, television, or online media.   

You’ll study on the same grounds where productions like Murder on the Orient Express, Last Night in Soho,” and Ealing Classics such as The Ladykillers were shot. Guiding you through this journey are award-winning filmmakers and industry mentors. Courses align with industry, enhanced by guest speakers and collaborations with leading partners like MUBI, the British Film Institute, Adobe, and Soundsnap. Your peers represent over 60 nationalities, and with them, you just might be the next to premiere in iconic venues like The Dukes at Brighton’s Komedia cinema.

“We minimise the difference between being a student and being in the industry. It’s about make, make, make under the guidance of professional filmmakers.” 

What truly sets MetFilm School apart is its high-quality, accelerated bachelor’s programmes that take you onto real production sets. It’s especially ideal if you're looking to get a head start and enter the competitive screen industries sooner. With MetFilm School’s intensive training, you’ll be able to fast-track your programme, completing it in as little as two years, compared to the traditional three.

Don’t mistake the short duration for shallowness, though. Whether you’re looking to become a powerhouse in acting or develop the technical skills to enter today’s film, TV, and new media industries, these programmes ensure you develop a portfolio that showcases a full range knowledge and skills.

Across four semesters, you’ll dive into the entire process -- pre-production, filming, post -- using professional-grade gear and working with peers and pros. Acting students explore the technical, emotional, and creative depth of screen performance, while collaboration with Production Design and Hair & Make-Up students gives you a real-world view of how sets actually run.

The creative world waits for no one, and competition is fierce. But with a degree from BIMM University Berlin, a leading creative arts institution, you’ll be ready to take it on. Its internationally recognised degrees show the world that you’re ready with the know-how and hands-on experience to match.  

BIMM University Berlin is home to three renowned schools:

At MetFilm School, you learn and then you create. Learning by doing takes precedence, with programmes informed by industry practice and curricula that mirror real-life productions, be it during the final Graduation Production or a genre-based short film. Your professors are actors, directors, cinematographers, screen practitioners, and the likes, with renowned guest speakers often leading workshops and live projects too. Upon graduation, you’ll have explored every genre, every technique -- evident by the polished showreel or film portfolio you’ll have to show.

And thanks to MetFilm School’s rich industry network, many students even get to pursue a two-to-four-week work placement in their second year. Students in the past have undertaken placements with MetFilm Production, where they’ve worked on award-winning projects like Misha and the Wolves.
