AFTRS GRADUATE CERTIFICATE SCREEN
AFTRS Graduate Certificates are an opportunity for students to discover and develop their creative voice and acquire conceptual and professional skills within specific disciplines.
Graduate Certificates are designed for students from three distinct areas of the industry - screen practitioners who want to develop and build skills within their discipline to take the next step into work or further study, screen practitioners who want to expand their existing skills outside their own discipline and practitioners from different fields of expertise who use the course to move into the screen industry.
An essential component of these post-graduate courses is collaboration across disciplines. Students investigate the different perspectives of cinematic storytelling and engage in collaborative exercises to build their networks. The courses are delivered part-time across two semesters, on evenings and/or weekends at the AFTRS campus. The course is structured so that students can maintain full-time employment while they gain their qualifications.
Disciplines offered in 2018 are Cinematography, Creative Producing, Directing, Documentary, Editing, Music and Screenwriting. All of them are taught by industry practitioners and involve practice-based learning on campus. Classes have a maximum of 15 places. Up to date equipment is available according to the requirements of each course, as well as invitations for students to industry events.
