BA in Digital Film and Television

The BA Digital Film and Television (DFTV) programme led by Adam McIlwaine is for people who are passionate about the art and craft of film-making. It has swiftly built a significant reputation in the industry as well as acting as a catalyst and focus for artistic collaboration within the Conservatoire.

We provide a rich and challenging environment for ambitious students who are keen to develop their skills to the highest level and who have the potential to originate new ideas and formats for film and television.

The film is a collaborative medium and here you will find all the resources you need at your fingertips. Nowhere in the UK provides the range of disciplines that we do at this level.

You can work with actors, composers, directors, dancers, and musicians, as well as scenic artists, stage managers, and technicians. Everything you need to make great work for the screen is right here, and you can engage with the whole spectrum of performing arts.

The DFTV has extensive industry links at the highest levels. Our students find themselves regularly involved in major productions and masterclasses as well as expert tuition from industry practitioners on an almost daily basis.

We’ll help you develop your ideas and your creativity, and you can hone your skills in areas including screenwriting, cinematography, production management, editing, or sound recording.

Over the past ten years, our students have won and been nominated for a number of awards, including BAFTAs and Royal Television Society Awards and our work has been shown in film festivals across the world.

Our graduates can currently be found at the BBC, STV, on major film and television productions, or directing and writing their own feature films. Others who want to build on their experience here have gone on to further training at a number of institutions including to the National Film and Television School.

Our approach to training is very different from the traditional technical training programmes. The importance of film and TV theory and history is embedded in their practical work and vice versa from the very beginning. This holistic approach grounds the students in the need to watch and analyse in order to create to the highest standard.

Screen Content development is also explored in a students’ three-year journey at DFTV. The development of short-form scripts and content for Television including Children’s TV is vital in a sector where ideas are the most valuable currency.

The DFTV Programme works in partnership with many organisations such as BBC Scotland, Progressive Broadcast Hire, Dumbarton Studi. We also have professional practitioners from all disciplines working with our students on a daily basis.

Students work on projects throughout their three-year degree moving from micro-shorts (90 secs) to fully-realized short films (max 20mins). The films are realised on tape-based, DSLR and RED camera systems as well as being edited on AVID. All productions are mentored by practitioners and form a key part of a student’s course assessment.

The Royal Conservatoire is Scotland 's national centre of professional vocational training in performance arts. Our location is the heart of Glasgow; our orientation is the contemporary international scene. We are leading the way as one of Europe’s top conservatoires , offering a rare breadth of artistic disciplines.

Everything we do, as in our RSAMD days, is driven by our desire for excellence. Students flourish thanks to the extraordinary blend of intensive tuition, a rigorous performance schedule, working with professional counterparts in industry, and the space to create with others across the disciplines if they wish. Both students and staff are prolific in creating truly innovative new work.

At the Royal Conservatoire, tuition is constantly supported by our partnerships with high profile performance companies in Scotland and beyond, and by our staff’s professional expertise.

We offer outstanding specialist learning to the highest professional level and undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in dance, drama, music, production, screen and education. Our training is rigorous and inextricably linked to the professions. We also nurture talent at all stages and ages with a wide variety of courses from weekly sessions to specialist summer schools.
