B.A. Film & Motion Design

About the course

A practical English-taught degree in filmmaking, motion design and post-production, taught in SRH’s CORE model of five-week blocks built around project work. It runs for 7 semesters (210 ECTS).

Entry requirements for Irish students

• SRH asks for a school-leaving certificate that gives university access in your home country. Under German rules the Leaving Certificate gives direct entry to arts courses with six subjects, including two languages and Maths (O5/H6 or better), at least two at Higher Level H5 or better and the other four at O6/H6 or better. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. SRH publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with admissions. If you fall short, SRH offers a Foundation Year or conditional enrolment.
• Portfolio of about 3-5 of your own creative works from film (for example a script, scene sketches, a storyboard, or links to finished work on Vimeo or YouTube). SRH’s standard process then includes an admissions interview, though SRH notes that not every programme requires one.
• English: SRH lists certificates such as IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 87, Cambridge B2 First (grade A or B), Duolingo 110 or PTE Academic 59, taken in the last two years, or its own English Proficiency Certificate test. It does not say that Leaving Cert English is accepted instead, so ask admissions whether Irish schooling is enough.
