NFTS Scotland

The National Film and Television School is an acknowledged global leader in the provision of postgraduate, high-level, creative and technical skills for the audio-visual industries.

The uniqueness of the School is defined both by its performance record, as measured by industry awards such as Oscars and BAFTAs, including the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema BAFTA in 2018 and 95% graduate employment within six months of graduating.

It has been cited by some media as one of the top five film schools globally and by one as the No.1 international film school.

With its focus on practical hands-on filmmaking and small group teaching and learning, the NFTS is unashamedly the pre-eminent, top of the pyramid institution in the sector in the UK.

The NFTS Scotland portfolio of courses brings this world-class learning provision to Scotland to benefit students and the creative industries here.

Courses include part-time diplomas, short courses and certificate courses in a wide range of ‘behind the scenes’ specialist areas, designed to meet the growing needs of film, television and games production companies in Scotland.

Diversity and inclusion are key priorities for NFTS Scotland. A discretionary bursary fund has been established to support course costs for applicants from a broad range of backgrounds who meet the eligibility criteria.
