The school offers undergraduate degrees in Practical Filmmaking and Screenwriting, as well as short courses and postgraduate degrees. The school hosts around 100 students each year.

In 2015, CFS entered into partnership with Bertha Foundation, a philanthropic organisation that funds documentary features.[2] The school has begun to offer documentary courses to reflect this partnership.

In recent years, CFS has hosted student Q&As with filmmakers such as Nick Hornby,[3] George Amponsah (director of The Hard Stop),[4] and Sir Ronald Harwood.

Alumni include BAFTA Cymru award-winning director Kim Strobl,[5][6] Bollywood director Zaid Ali Khan,[7] Tamil actor Naga,[8] and Nigerian actor Demola Adedoyin.[9]
