One of the most exciting aspects of the Pathfinder Joint International BA in Film is the incredible opportunities to live and study in different countries. As a student, you won't just be studying in one location – you'll have the chance to travel across Europe, experiencing different cultures, academic environments, and filmmaking traditions. Throughout your three years, you'll engage in both physical and hybrid mobilities, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in a variety of cultural contexts while building your professional network.

At the end of your first year second semester, you will travel to LTMA (Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre) to participate in a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). There you will be joined by all of your fellow Pathfinder Joint International BA in Film classmates where you will work together to create a film. This unique experience gives you the chance to work with your peers in person, enriching your learning while fostering a sense of community.

In your second year, you will switch campuses to another one of our partner institutions, providing a fresh environment and the opportunity to learn from new faculty and classmates.

By your third year, you’ll either return to your starting institution or choose to experience another study period in a third partner institution, tailoring your path to suit your interests.

Hybrid mobilities, where you’ll work in virtual classrooms with students and lecturers from partner institutions, are equally transformative. You’ll collaborate with classmates from all over Europe on projects via online platforms such as Microsoft Teams, allowing you to stay connected with international peers, even when you are not physically in the same place. These experiences develop your global outlook, adaptability, and digital collaboration skills—critical for thriving in today's fast-paced, interconnected film industry.

The structure of the programme offers a truly European adventure, where you learn, travel, and grow as a creative professional. By working with diverse cultures, and benefiting from the expertise of multiple institutions, you will not only become a skilled filmmaker but also a global citizen with a unique perspective.

Please note that all travel for non-EU/EEA students will be subject to successful visa applications to the specific country.

It’s important to note that additional mobility beyond the 12 months covered by Erasmus+—as well as relocation costs to new base institutions—will be the responsibility of the students.

From time to time, scholarships or additional funding opportunities may become available, and these will be announced on the programme’s website. Be sure to regularly check the website for updates and opportunities.
