Bachelor Programme in Film and Media 

We educate the storytellers of the future who can contribute to the development of society, take their place and acquire a profession within a field in constant change. Develop artistic force, initiative and courage, learn entrepreneurial skills and build a network for life!

The Bachelor Programme in Film and Media is a collaborative, co-creative, team-based education. Through documentary storytelling, fiction, animation and immersive media production, you will develop your artistic skills in collaboration between sound, cinematography, production design, editing, production, directing and scripting.

Together we form a dynamic environment with theoretical teaching, practical lab courses and joint idea formation as a starting point. Within your specialization there are opportunities for international exchanges.

Relating to and meeting an audience is part of the education and through various forms of distribution you reach more groups in society. Accessibility is important for your stories to reach audiences in listening rooms, movie theaters or on platforms such as Extended Reality (XR).

We also explore the ethical, aesthetic, social and political implications of AI (artificial intelligence). A Bachelor's degree lays the foundation for lifelong learning!

Bachelor's Specialisation in Documentary storytelling

Documentary storytelling is a way of portraying the world and life through a subjective temperament. It can be the portrayal of real people and events in a more traditional way as well as in a more experimental form. Documentary storytelling has become a recognized art form that finds its strength in the storyteller's very own, subjective gaze and expression. If you are interested in the world around you and curious about the unpredictable, if you have the tenacity and a strong need to communicate with an audience – then this is the program for you!

In the courses specific to the Documentary storytelling specialization, you will have the opportunity to deepen your artistic expression in both collaboration with other students and in individual work. You will also receive basic training in methods and tools specific to the director's work in documentary storytelling. Particular focus is placed on ethical aspects of characterization and approach to those who are in front of the camera or microphone, including courses in research, access and idea development, as well as courses in recording, editing and post-production. The insights and knowledge you acquire in the specialization-specific courses are then applied in the team-based lab courses.
