Course Overview

The MFA (PG) Sound Design for Film and Television at National Film and Television School is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about advancing knowledge and professional skills. Based in Beaconsfield, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 2-year full-time structure. Sound design is the emotional heartbeat of a film, TV show or game. A soundtrack has the ability to make you feel scared, to be uplifted, to bring you to tears, to build tension and release joy. At the NFTS, we marry together training in the technical skills of sound design with a passion for telling stories through sound. International tuition fees are £26,000 per year, home/UK fees are £14,800 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission.
