The Northern Ireland Film & Television School is now accepting applications for Sept 2020



Date Posted: March 2, 2020

The Northern Ireland Film & Television School (NIFTS) is now accepting applications for the HNC in Creative Media Production beginning this September. School leavers and mature career changers are encouraged to apply.

The HNC is delivered by a teaching team consisting of industry professionals using a blended learning approach that includes lectures, studio workshops, industry speakers and production residentials.

Mandatory Modules:

  • Individual Project (Pearson-set)
  • Creative Media Industry
  • Professional Practice

Specialist units will include:

  • Film  Practices
  • Film Studies
  • Cinematography
  • Film and Video Editing

The course is delivered over 2 full days a week at the award winning Film School based at SERC’s Bangor Campus, allowing students to balance work and home life commitments as well as the potential to work in the industry part-time alongside their studies. Most applicants are eligible for full funding.

On completion of the HNC year, there is the potential to progress to the HND 2nd Year.

NIFTS has recently partnered with Edinburgh Napier University to allow HND graduates to gain direct entry into the 3rd Year of their award winning BA Hons in Television Production (coupled with the 2 years at NIFTS, this can result in a half-price degree from a UK Top10 University). Alternatively, graduates have gained direct entry into industry in junior roles such as Runner, Trainee Camera and Production Assistant or entered Northern Ireland Screen’s prestigious Aim High Scheme. NIFTS graduates can now be found working in the film and television industry across the UK.

You will be based in the award winning Film School based at SERC’s Bangor Campus.
