They were joined by postgraduate students in Scriptwriting, Directing, Producing, Cinematography, and Post Production Sound and Editing.

In 2019, BU joined forces with BAFTA albert to champion sustainability and the green agenda in the television industry, leading to the creation of the BAFTA albert education partnership.
