Program overview

What BIMM University says about their program:
"Are you passionate about the business side of film? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset and ambitions to pave a career in a fast-growing creative industry?


The BA (Hons) Film Business & Production degree reflects current demands for professionally ready graduates equipped with the vital creative, business and entrepreneurial skills to navigate the modern film, screen and media environment.


This industry-facing course is a vital part of the roster of degree courses that will make up the Screen and Film School offer – BA Hons Filmmaking and BA Hons Film Business & Production and will allow students from both courses and disciplines to work in synergy to create cutting edge and industry-standard screen and film content.


The unique collaborative feature of the BA Hons Film Business & Production will give you the opportunity to be part of a creative production team, collectively learning how to work together and develop a film or screen venture. This collaborative approach to working between the courses will ensure open access to the entire industry, including peripheral and supporting roles.


Over the past decade, the UK Film & TV industry has continued to experience significant growth. Opportunities to work in this vibrant and exciting industry have never been better. BFI have revealed that £737 million was spent on UK high-end television production in the first six months of 2019, UK cinemas saw their highest summer box office returns on record – from May to August, the total box office was over £474 million, up 7.8% on the same period in 2018 (UK Cinema Association, 2019). Streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon have invested billions into the UK economy to help meet their huge demand for content."
