Film & TV at Bucks Receives Formal Accreditation from Creative Skillset

The Film & TV course at Bucks has just finally received full accreditation from Creative Skillset - the UK Government body which oversees university courses in the creative industries. So, what does this mean for Bucks, and why is Creative Skillset Accreditation important?

Gateway Building at Bucks

Creative Skillset offers students applying to Bucks a stamp of approval. In other words, it's a kind of kitemark of quality, an independent validation of good practice and sound teaching methods.

One of the many pre-requisites for Skillset validation is that the course under consideration has to have been running for at least 3 years. Film and TV has been running for 5, so they have now ironed out all the bumps and are now fully confident that what they offer their students is a world-class education.

Our animation & VFX course has been running for just one and a half years now. When we have three years under our belt, we will be applying too. It will be hard work, but we are confident that when the time comes Creative Skillset will be impressed by the animation and visual effects work being done here at Bucks.
