Producers are the connecting force between the artistic, organisational, and economic aspects of film and series production. They take on creative as well as economic responsibility for their team and the project, which they accompany from finding the material, through script development, financing, and production organisation, to marketing.
In the specialisation in “Creative Producing” of the Bachelor's Programme Film, students learn their craft as part of the creative process and develop their own creative personality. They develop a worldview that takes into account the zeitgeist and social developments as economic factors as well as recognising artistic connections.
Through top-class guest lecturers from the industry as well as festival and trade conference visits, production students build up an industry network during their studies in order to be optimally prepared for their future profession.
Since the Bachelor's Programme Film is a German-language programme, please find all further information on the German-language page.
