Film Degree Programs
For over a century, film has been a way for audiences to travel from their daily lives to experience other time periods, foreign lands, and unexpected world viewpoints. Now it’s time to jump out of that plush screening-room chair and let your passion for the silver screen physically transport you to pursue degrees at film schools around the world. From new plot-worthy personal adventures to an international knowledge of technical innovations, make some movie magic and cross-cultural connections to succeed in this competitive, global industry before you say “that’s a wrap” on your education!

A Guide to Film Degrees Abroad
Why Earn a Degree in Film Abroad
Movies are all about storytelling. The best movies engage and compel audiences to relate to a story that might be taking place in a similar circumstance to daily life, or that may be far, far away in time or space. Whether your interest in film puts you behind the camera or a history book or sitting in front of a blank page, an understanding of the global human condition and how people around the world experience stories on-screen will be an invaluable take-away from studying at international film schools.
While the United States may dominate with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, film schools in Germany have also been producing films since the 1890s, and in fact, Australia released the first feature film in 1906. Today, India’s Bollywood and Nigeria’s Nollywood compete for the largest number of movie productions. Zooming your camera angle in on these foreign film markets will illuminate diverse approaches to all aspects of the filmmaking process, ultimately widening your lens to new opportunities and creative ideas as you apply your degree after graduation.
Technology has led to amazing revolutions in what we see and hear once the cinema lights dim down, but more importantly, it has created an interconnected film community that spans borders and time zones. Directors in Los Angeles can be in constant communication with editors in Prague and distributors in China, all on the same film! With a film degree overseas, you will gain the flexibility and international network to efficiently and effectively turn a screenplay into a box-office sensation.
