Global Diversity

The UCLA School of Theater, Film, & Television is located at the heart of the most diverse city on earth, and the center of the new creative renaissance. Where your world is a 24/7 experience. Part of both a thriving local scene and a global community. A place where ideas take flight, and the future is written.

Our connections run deep. With special relationships on every continent, we provide our students with the great opportunity to do their creative work and research anywhere in the world. And, with alumni and strategic alliances spanning the globe, we open the door to a robust array of internships, mentoring opportunities and festival strategies. We give you all the skills and support you need to navigate the entire professional landscape, both while you’re a student and after graduation.

Multiculturalism and global diversity are not simply agenda items at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, but established facts.

You will see students from all over the world sharing a table at the Stage Canteen, discussing ideas in a writer’s room, lighting and designing a set together, acting in a play, debating ideas and critical theory, or directing their thesis film.

The wonderful effects of this global consciousness are many. We believe the new stories and the new storytellers will come out of this beautiful reservoir of global diversity, and at TFT, that’s what we are all about.
