Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) is set to launch a Bachelor’s degree programme in Film Industry Management from 1 September. Early admission for this programme is already open.

The film industry is a branch of the creative industries that encompasses a wide range of fields, including cinema, animation, advertising production, specialised equipment rental, casting, set and prop design, video and audio post-production, film distribution, and other audiovisual-related services. Research and innovation also play a crucial role in this industry.

According to KSU Rector  Dr Gitana Neverienė, the university is committed to offering programmes that align with current and future labour market needs. She highlights the global film industry as a rapidly growing and highly promising field.

“The industry is growing rapidly, with global revenues expected to surpass pre-pandemic levels, ensuring a demand for skilled professionals. Students should consider studying film industry management in Lithuania because the country has a rapidly growing film sector with increasing international collaborations and government incentives for filmmakers.  The country has become a popular filming destination for global productions, providing students with real-world exposure to international projects. Additionally, Lithuania’s strategic location in Europe allows easy networking with major film markets, opening doors to global career opportunities. With affordable tuition and a vibrant creative community, Lithuania is an excellent choice for aspiring film industry professionals”, says the Rector.

The programme curriculum includes courses covering film production and project management, scriptwriting, financial planning, marketing and distribution, legal aspects of the film industry, digital innovations, film festival organisation, and more.

The Bachelor’s in Film Industry Management will take 3.5 years to complete, and students will have the option to study in Lithuanian or English.
