BA(Hons) Film and Screen Studies
More than ever, our lives are lived via screens. Film & Screen Studies BA (Hons) explores the fast-changing world of screen media, including film, television, games, social media, photography and smart devices.
The degree examines the histories, theories and industries of screen media from early filmmaking to the modern day.
Students are encouraged to apply those ideas to their own screen consumption in class and in their assessments. Students choose from a range of optional modules – including documentary filmmaking, TV production, journalism and photography – and tailor the degree to match their interests.
A range of assessment types including essays, presentations, creative portfolios, and video essays means that employability skills are built-in throughout the curriculum to prepare students for their future careers. Guest lectures from practitioners give students insight into work in the industry.
Students work with local film venues and events like the film festival CINECITY to gain experience and build career opportunities.
