Work Experience
Each year we offer a one-week placement for school pupils studying GCSE (subject to our capacity). Our next work experience week will take place from Monday 16 - Friday 20 June 2025, to apply complete our application form, which you can find below.
What we’re looking for is bright, highly motivated people who have a clear interest in media, and are driven to succeed. We encourage applications from those under-represented in the industry, including women, disabled, LGBTQI+, socio-economically disadvantaged, neurodivergent and those form the global majority. If we are over-subscribed, which we often are, we will prioritise places accordingly. We give priority to students currently studying at HE (Higher Education) level for placements of up to three weeks.
If you’re between 16 and 19, we encourage you to apply for BFI Film Academy first before applying for work experience.
If you meet our criteria, and there are places available, we’ll contact you. Not everyone will get a place, and we may not be able to offer your preferred dates.
We try our best to respond to every email, however during busy periods please be patient with us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
Think carefully about your answers to the questions on the work experience application form (submission details are on the form) – they are what we’ll use to decide who gets a placement! Please note this form is only for students in education.
If you aren’t in education, you can still volunteer with us, email us to find out what opportunities we have.
