As with all full-time courses at Central Film School London, places on the Industry Filmmaking Diploma are offered selectively to applicants based on their submission materials and performance at interview.

Applicants must be 18 or over. Please note that whilst many students will have already completed Graduate and Post-Graduate degrees, what we are essentially looking for is raw talent and new voices with something to say and the potential to gain employment in the film industry.

Applicants must submit a visual and written sample of their work. Please note that we are happy to conduct telephone interviews for international students.
