He read Political Philosophy at Trinity College, Cambridge and graduated in 1995. After training at ARTTS International in Bubwith, East Riding of Yorkshire, he became an accomplished documentary editor between 1996 and 2000, editing landmark British documentary series including ''Secret History'', ''Witness'' and ''The Real''... In 2000, Sen was awarded his first BBC drama commission to write and direct ''The Love Doctor''. His second low budget television film, a short called ''Reignited'' was made for Channel 4's ''Coming Up'' strand and met with critical success. In 2003, BAFTA award-winning producer Catherine Wearing employed Sen to direct Channel 4's £2 million flagship drama ''Second Generation'' starring Parminder Nagra.

Sen continued to direct other big-budget dramas including ''Frances Tuesday'' starring Tamzin Outhwaite. ''Frances Tuesday'' was a huge and much needed success for ITV. It was the highest rated single drama of 2004 and went on to sell in over 43 countries worldwide, cementing Outhwaite’s place as one of the most popular faces on British TV. In May 2006, Sen completed ''Stan'' for BBC 4 about the final meeting between Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, starring ''Father Ted'' star Jim Norton.
