Subject to approval by the Office for Students, Central Film School will have probationary degree awarding powers from September 2027. Achieving this milestone would enable us to award our own degrees while continuing to deliver the specialist, industry-focused education that defines us. Whilst this process is completed, all of our degrees will continue to be validated by Falmouth University. Students can enrol with confidence knowing their qualification will be fully recognised.
