Where can I find a course on film production?

While we can’t offer a preference on a particular course over another, below you can find a list of some universities and film schools:

• QUT in Brisbane offers an excellent course on film production as do most universities.
• Bond University also has a great film program and would be worth checking out what they have to offer and perhaps talking to course lecturers and tutors.
• The Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS) offer many courses that might be useful to the experienced and budding film maker alike. Check out their website and consider having a chat with some of the course counsellors.    
• QPIX also offers a range of short courses aimed at providing training for the novice film-maker.
• Griffith University College of Art also offers a great programme.

If that is too many options, a great way to help you to decide is to look at graduates of both programs and see what they have done, go to their open days, read the course and subject options, see what you can combine your major with etc., and then make the best choice for you based on your research.
