Motion Pictures (Bachelor of Arts)

Within the Motion Pictures programme, students learn how to create films from the initial idea to the final cut. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of filmmakers through a hands-on curriculum based on real film productions. Our bachelor‘s degree allows for specialization tailored to specific interests in production, cinematography, directing, and post-production. Each specialization is built on a solid foundation of film theory and applied in an immersive, industry-focused learning environment. You can find more in-depth information about the study programme on the website of the study program Motion Pictures.

Our graduates work in artistic and creative fields, including innovative film projects, television series, and new media concepts. These fields encompass all areas of film production, such as script development, directing, cinematography, editing, and post-production. Alternatively, our faculty offers the option of completing a master’s degree, which qualifies graduates for leadership positions in the creative industries as well as roles in research and development.
