I chose to study my Master’s in Film and Television: Research and Production at Birmingham because I wanted a course that would challenge me both theoretically and practically. From essays to pitch presentations, I was able to build on my speaking, teamwork and writing skills. These assessments are not only fundamental to a career in film or television but also really focused on my individual interests and passions.
