Master Scholarships in Documentary Filmdirecting

Master Scholarships in Documentary Filmdirecting: The new DOC NOMADS European Master Course is a 2-year-long (120 ECTS) documentary film making course taught in English and delivered by three European Universities.

The Consortium enjoys the backing of 17 associated members: national and European TV and production companies, professional associations, documentary umbrella organizations, European, African, Far-Eastern, Russian, North- and South-American Universities are there to improve the quality of the DOC NOMADS EMMC.

DOC NOMADS aims at developing students’ basic skills in technics, fieldwork and writing, as well as their creative filmmaking and managing skills in an international production environment within the framework of a truly integrated training that marry traditional European art education and modern studies based on the film, media and new media industry’s requirements.

The basic underlying idea is that the students are immersed into different cultures and social environments which makes them more sensitive to different documentary practices, ways of communication enhancing their capabilities to work outside their own cultural contexts, therefore mobility from Lisbon to Brussels via Budapest is compulsory for all students.

DOC NOMADS is open to students with a BA degree in Motion Picture or Media Studies; other degrees are accepted for applicants with a convincing portfolio. In order to guarantee a high-quality individual training, small group tuition is offered.

Full scholarships can be awarded to masters students who come from a country other than a European country and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of the European countries.

Scholarship candidates must have already obtained a first higher education or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national legislation and practices.

Students benefiting from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus masters studies.
Erasmus Mundus scholarships are awarded exclusively for a full-time enrolment in one of the course editions.
