Bachelor of Film and Television (Degree with Honours)

The Bachelor of Film and Television (Degree with Honours) at the University of Melbourne is a one-year advanced undergraduate qualification designed for graduates who have completed a relevant three-year bachelor degree in film, screen, or a related discipline. The Honours year provides a rigorous opportunity to deepen your creative practice and research capacity in film and television, refining both theoretical understanding and production skills at a higher academic level.

Structured as an intensive year of study, the programme typically consists of advanced coursework, units of study with a specified credit point value, and an individual research or creative capstone project. Under the guidance of experienced academic and industry mentors, students can specialise further in filmmaking, scriptwriting, directing, editing, cinematography, or other production roles. The curriculum often integrates opportunities for work-integrated learning and professional placements, supporting the development of practical skills relevant to Australia's vibrant screen industries.

Throughout the Honours year, students enhance critical and analytical thinking, project management, and research skills, culminating in a thesis or substantial creative work. The programme is ideally suited for those seeking to advance to postgraduate research, pursue specialised professional roles, or establish themselves in the competitive Australian film, television, and digital media sector.
