Met Film School Berlin

What Met Film School Berlin does

Met Film School Berlin is the continental-European campus of MetFilm School, a privately operated film, television, and online media educational institution. The legal entity, MetFilm School Limited, is a UK-registered private limited company that operates six campuses in London, Berlin, Brighton, Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester, with Berlin being the only non-UK site. The Berlin campus features dedicated production facilities, including Molecule Studios (production) and House of Music (audio), and offers undergraduate and postgraduate film and acting programs with regular virtual and in-person open days.

The school's product portfolio comprises three tiers: ten BA (Hons) undergraduate degrees and one CertHE spanning acting, filmmaking, production design, hair and make-up, content creation, and digital film practice; ten MA postgraduate programs covering cinematography, directing, documentary, producing, screenwriting, post-production, and screen acting; and sixteen short courses ranging from intro-level workshops through 4-week intensives to 20-week certificate programs. An affiliated sub-brand, MetStudios, extends the offering into games education with BA programs in Games Art and Technology and Games Design and Development. Core training infrastructure is built around industry-standard film production and post-production equipment, including traditional 16mm and 35mm film formats, with curricula emphasising hands-on practice under working filmmaker-educators.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based, charging fees for BA, MA, and short-course programs with annual billing cadence. Distribution channels include UCAS for undergraduate admissions, direct applications for postgraduate and short courses, an international agent network for overseas recruitment, virtual open evenings for remote prospects, and on-site enrollment at each campus. Pricing is partially subsidised through the Launchpad Bursary (up to one-third off tuition) and scholarships. Revenue is generated almost entirely from tuition fees across multi-year degree programs and short-course cohorts; revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed, and the institution is privately held with no identified institutional investors.
