Bournemouth Skillset Screen & Media Academy
The Bournemouth Screen Academy was launched as a joint venture between the Arts University College at Bournemouth and Bournemouth University Media School in 2006 as a recognised 'Centre of Excellence' in film education and training, one of only seven such institutions in the UK.
In 2007 it became a Skillset Screen and Media Academy. Funded by Skillset, the Sector Skills Council for the Audio Visual Industries, the Academy network is endorsed by the UK film and media industry as providing the best education and skills development for the future workforce at further, higher and postgraduate levels.
Its aim is to ensure that the UK has the most talented and skilled workforce in the world, both now and in the future: it operates summer schools, work placements and master classes among other initiatives in which University College students can participate.
