Where will studying MA Film and TV at Birmingham take you?

Since graduating, alumna Elizabeth McGlynn has worked as a Runner, Set PA and Junior Researcher on TV shows including The Masked Singer and The Traitors.

My time at Birmingham gave me the platform to kickstart my career and was instrumental in securing opportunities like The Traitors. I would highly recommend the programme to anyone looking to take their first step into the industry. I would not be where I am today without it.
