The commercial training for audiovisual media at UFA Serial Drama is characterized above all by its diversity. During a regular training period of three years, you have the opportunity to get to know the most diverse areas of a TV production. It is particularly important to UFA and the trainers to respond to the wishes of the trainees and to provide a more intensive insight into the desired departments.
