Media Business School (Fundación Cultural Media)

Description 

Mega Plus is a 9-month post-graduate degree course in audiovisual management which gives participants the required knowledge and business expertise to allow them to work in the industry at a management level.

The course content includes development, management, accountancy, production budgeting and scheduling, distribution, marketing and digital media. Participants are invited to apply with an audiovisual project that will be developed during the course.

The programme consists of:

• residential training (14 weeks);
• a first three-month internship in a European production or distribution company;
• Mega Final Evaluation Week (Mega Few);
• a second three-month internship.

During the summer residential sessions, more than 40 experts deliver training and consultancy, supported by screenings, case studies and role plays. A complete business and production proposal is prepared during this period, and participants complete it to be evaluated at the Mega Few.

Target group 

Young producers, recent graduates from film schools with an excellent track record, university graduates wishing to enter the audiovisual industry.
