What our students say...
Baby Ruth Villarama
MA Film Distribution and Marketing
"As an Asian postgraduate student, I’ve had my share of adjusting to the UK’s multi-cultural environment. My academic time at BCU allowed me to thrive in this diversity, and guided my passion to tell stories with a global perspective. The programme not only provided students like me with top-notch knowledge on film marketing and distribution, but it openly connected me to a network that deeply understands how collaboration works in championing real stories for nation building and the creative economy. I’m grateful to the BCU mentors, instructors and programme designers who continuously support students and allow them to reach great heights, bringing UK education to the forefront of excellence."
