MA in Producing: MetFilm, London Film School, Goldsmiths or Royal Holloway?

[julia1]

Hi there! I'm an American applying to these four film schools for my Masters in Producing in London for the fall. I'm impressed with all four programs and have already been accepted to Royal Holloway. I'm trying to figure out which program is the best one, the one that will give me the most practical knowledge and have the most connections to industry jobs once I graduate. Royal Holloway was at the bottom of my list but now that I've spoken to an advisor there, it seems like it's just as viable as the other three schools. MetFilm and LFS seems like really great programs on paper but I have yet to find someone that can tell me that it's worth the tuition costs. Royal Holloway is a little cheaper than the other three. Please advise!!

I konw little about Royal Holloway. But I know that LFS is one of the best film school in the world and it has the strong connnection to film industry. I don't know if u are accepted by the 2 year programme. If yes, it would cost you a lot but it would be friendly to the student who has little experience in filmmaking. Goldsmiths is my dream school but I can't get its offer. Personally, I will choose Goldsmiths rather than MetFilm.

Hi! I wonder which one you got into. I've applied for MA in Directing at MetFilm, Goldsmiths, and MA Producing at Royal Holloway. Already received an offer letter from MetFilm, but just as you mentioned, I'm yet to find a MetFilm student to talk to and know better about the international students' situation there. Also, they expect me to pay 4.2k GBP upfront to secure my seat, which seemed a little odd honestly. The interview was also a little weird with only one administrative member just asking the same questions that I had already answered in the SOP. Zero faculty members, I'm not sure if that's how interviews happen in the UK.
As the applications for others were submitted a little later than Met's, I'm still awaiting a response. In case you did end up at any of these schools, I'd love to know what your experiences are.

Who did you end up going with? Did you look at UCL's Documentary programme?

Hey! I am hoping you might have made a decision by now as to which school you would be attending. I too am considering the MA Directing Program at MetFilm but want to learn more about the course from a student/alumni. I would like to know where ended up going.

Hey, I had applied for MA Film Producing at MET Film School, MA International Film Business at LFS and MA Producing Film & TV at Royal Holloway. Have received an unconditional offer letter from MET but they are giving just a week's time to accept the offer and pay £400. I can't understand why such a rush?
Also, I really want to wait for LFS.
