Founded in 2003 by Luke Montagu and Thomas Hoegh, MetFilm School began its journey at Clapham Junction before relocating to the prestigious Ealing Studios in London in 2005, establishing its headquarters at one of the world’s most historic film production facilities. The school’s mission as an educational institution is to provide students with practical, high-quality learning experiences grounded in professional industry practice and preparation. In 2024, MetFilm School was acquired by BIMM University, further strengthening its position in the creative education sector. The school operates seven campuses including six in the United Kingdom (London, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, and Manchester) and one in Berlin, Germany, making it a truly international institution.
MetFilm School has established itself as a global leader in film education with campuses strategically located in six creative capitals across the UK and Germany. The London campus, situated at Ealing Studios, offers students unparalleled access to iconic locations, industry professionals, and cutting-edge resources, making it an exceptional setting for both filmmaking and film studies in the heart of a global epicenter for the film industry.
The school launched MetFilm Production in 2006, creating a unique educational model where students can engage with real-world professional projects. This integration of education and industry practice is further enhanced by the school’s prestigious advisory board, which includes Sir Alan Parker, Stephen Frears, Heather Rabbatts, and Barnaby Thompson, ensuring students receive guidance from established industry leaders.
Located at Ealing Studios, MetFilm School provides students with access to one of the world’s most famous film production facilities, where countless classic British films have been made. This historic setting, combined with modern facilities and equipment, creates an inspiring environment where students can develop their craft while being immersed in cinema history and contemporary production practices.
MetFilm School maintains strong academic standards through degree validation by the University of West London and membership in CILECT, the international association of film and television schools. The school has established informal ties with the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in Beaconsfield, with many NFTS graduates teaching at MetFilm School, creating a bridge between two of the UK’s leading film education institutions.
