Screen Academy Scotland

The Screen Academy Scotland is a collaboration between Napier University and Edinburgh College of Art. It was opened in August 2005 [http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2005/08/22125833] by the then First Minister of Scotland, Jack McConnell, and is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Both Napier and ECA already had established film making courses. The Academy offers practical, project-based, postgraduate courses. A new Production Cente was opened in August 2006 by Napier Honorary Graduate Tilda Swinton.

Sir Sean Connery and Dame Judi Dench are patrons of the Academy. [ [http://news.napier.ac.uk/press/articles/article_10334.htm Napier University News Centre : Sir Sean Connery Named Patron of Screen Academy Scotland ] ]
