Composing for Film and Television

Train in live and synth/sample-based music for moving image productions.

Modelled on industry working practices, you will compose for a wide variety of audio-visual material and work closely with other students including those from Editing and Sound Post Production, increasing your understanding of the relationship between audio and moving images. You will graduate with a number of credits which can include fiction, animation and science and natural history films, television and games.

Oscar winning NFTS Graduate Dario Marianelli - "I didn't just learn about music in films: I learnt to collaborate and communicate with film-makers, in a very fruitful and stimulating way."

We offer a flexible curriculum adaptable to our students’ individual needs, with access to individual music suites, recording sessions with live musicians and education in business, legal and professional skills.

On graduating, you’ll be qualified to take on all forms of work in film and television, as well as productions in multimedia and interactive programming.
