Student stories

Over the summer, I had the privilege of working at Samlon Recordings in Johannesburg, South Africa. This experience not only deepened my technical knowledge but also exposed me to new cultural perspectives and professional practices in a global setting.

Though I couldn't define what a masters degree should be, it feels as if FADA represents everything it should be. It allows a level of freedom to work on what you are passionate about, to question lecturers, and squeeze every ounce of detail from them that you can. 

The Film Production and Broadcast Engineering course is unique in its combination of the creative and technical sides of film and broadcast and there is such variety in module content: from filming, editing and programme development, to coding and technical essays. 

I’ve always had a passion for film and TV and it wasn’t until I discovered this course that I found out about the possibility of working on the more engineering/technical side of industry, which really appealed to me.

You get to enjoy access to state-of-the-art facilities, engage with like-minded peers and faculty members, and participate in extracurricular activities and networking events within the vibrant academic community.

If you're thinking about studying the course, don’t hesitate for a moment, as it will definitely change your life.

...if you want a vibrant, all positive vibes place that will teach you a lot – this is MA FADA.

My main role as a creative producer was to create 25 or 30 second trailers for National Geographic shows. It was an amazing opportunity; as part of my role I had a lot of creative freedom and had to come up with concepts, pitch them to the managers, and then edit and write the script for the promos.
