During their professional studies, the students can specialise in production, scriptwriting, cinematography, editing or sound design. In addition, the students may also take specialist studies in lighting design for theatre and sound and lighting design for events. The degree programme also offers studies in directing. In directing, the main focus is on managing a working group and organising a production. Artistic direction is seen as a process, which the degree programme offers skills for, but the actual qualifications are acquired through work experience and Master’s degree studies.
The basic studies undertaken by all include introduction to content, expression and production of both film and television.
The aim of the first-year studies is for the students to achieve the necessary skills needed to work as assistants in a film or television production. The content studies develop observation and ideation skills as well as the basics of scriptwriting and film expression. Project studies focus on the working processes of an audiovisual production and product management, and the students put together a fiction project.
The aim of the second-year studies is for the students to achieve the necessary skills needed to work independently on a production task.

The aim of the fourth-year studies is for the students to achieve the necessary skills needed to work as managers as well as in artistic, production and technical expertise tasks. The students carry out their final thesis work and complete any unfinished studies. The fourth year may also contain practical training, international exchange or free-choice professional studies.
