    NFTS Directing Fiction MFA 2027

    Hello all! I just submitted my application for Directing Fiction starting in 2027! Nervous, and a helluva long wait ahead, but wanted to get a conversation going. Has anybody else applied or is planning on applying? Any advice? How long does the application process tend to take? NFTS is a...

    Preparation for a competitive MA/MFA Directing application (UK)

    I've been looking at both MA and MFA directing courses, with a particular focus on two: the NFTS Directing Fiction MA and the AFI Directing MFA and an aim to start in 2026 or 2027 - by then I'll be in my late 20s. As both courses are highly competitive, I'd really like my application to be as...

    Waiting list at NFTS

    I just received an email from NFTS saying that I’ve been placed on the waiting list. However, since I’m an international student planning to study in the UK this year, most masters start in September. If I decide to wait on the NFTS waiting list, I won’t have a backup option—I would have to...

    Admitted (After Interview) NFTS Directing Fiction MFA 2026

    I applied last year but unfortunately didn’t make it to the interview. I was planning to give up this year, but on the day before the deadline, I decided to apply and managed to prepare all the materials within a day. The overall application process was quite smooth — it only required answering...

    Interview Scheduled NFTS Screenwriting MA

    Just received notification that I've been selected for an interview. The exact date and time have yet to be scheduled (sorry there was no drop down option for interview notification so I put it under "scheduled") Very excited, very nervous.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NFTS Directing Fiction

    First time applying. Not expecting to get in, using it more as a practice run for writing the application. Vaguely hoping to get an interview as a practice run for the next time I apply / for other schools in the future.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NFTS Cinematography MFA 2026

    This is my second application to the program, and I feel much more confident in the materials I submitted. It's interesting to compare my answers to last year's prompts to my new responses—it's a fun way to evaluate self-growth over the past year.

    Good so far - answered all 8 questions in detail and wrote a new 12 page excerpt - will update! Questions are essentially - why should you come here - was a good process for working out if I shoud!

    Applied NFTS Directing Fiction MA 2026

    It’s was good, the same standard application as before with six questions about you and why you want to study at the NFTS, followed by a 2 page proposal for a short or feature project and then 15min portfolio of your own directing work.

    Filip Sijanec, Composer and Professor at NFTS and the Royal College of Music, on the Power of Perseverance (Part 1)

    Filip Sijanec may have earned an Oscar nomination for scoring Detainment (2018), but he maintains an impressive air of humility, emphasizing the importance of lining up meaningful work. For the London-based composer, creating music for film, video games, online digital content, theater and other...

    Denied (w/o Interview) NFTS SCREENWRITING 2025

    Straightforward application process, references not needed until interview stage which is great. I found the questions really interesting to answer although I found the word counts a little steep and didn't meet them every question.
