Life after EFC

European Film College is the perfect place to start if you plan to work with film or media. Read about former EFC students and what they're doing today.

What happens after your stay at European Film College? What are your options?

Well, options are many.

Most of our students move on to study at advanced film schools across the globe or to work with film and media in some way.
But some of them also end up choosing completely different paths. Below are various examples of former students and where they are now.

Career guidance

As a student at EFC you will be offered career guidance that will help you decide on further education and career opportunities.

Whether you are already fully determined on your career path or you are unsure about what to do after EFC, our teachers are ready to guide you in terms of your future. Our students are, at anytime, welcome to contact our teachers and Principal and set up a meeting.

During the year, we have visits from a long row of guest lecturers and guest teachers from the Danish and international film and media business. Besides sharing knowledge about their fields and their work, they will inspire and guide students in terms of career choices and opportunities.

In the spring semester, EFC will arrange the so-called Future Days, spread across the semester, where film schools, universities, production companies etc. are invited in for talks and Q&As about their study or trainee programmes.
