Skillset has launched a new network of centres of excellence in film education and skills. The brand new network of seven Screen Academies in England, Scotland, and Wales will share over £5m funding and will work together to provide new courses, including the first ever film MBA, summer schools, work placements, master classes, bursaries, o­nline learning resources and a talent scout programme to help develop the brightest and the best.

The Screen Academy Network, which includes a Film Business Academy, is endorsed by the UK film industry as providing the best education and skills development for the future workforce at a further, higher and postgraduate level.
