BA/BS in Cinematography

The bachelor's programme in cinematography links theoretical foundations with hands-on exercises in image design. Students acquire knowledge in camera-specific and cross-programme teaching and apply it in format labs, lighting seminars and project work. Small groups allow individual supervision. During the course they plan and realise a documentary and a fiction project in an interdisciplinary setting, which may find international festival exposure. Further artistic camera work and the final project follow, using up-to-date 2D and 3D technology. The programme trains camera operators with broad technical know-how, a scientific background and an individual artistic handwriting. Graduates are qualified to work in fiction and documentary, and on commissions in film and television in camera, lighting and colour grading, and are well placed to join artistic teams in audiovisual media production.
