Course Summary
**Why study this course?**
Our Film and Television Studies (including foundation year) BA (Hons) is ideal if you’d like to pursue a degree in film studies but can’t meet the necessary requirements to enter the standard three-year degree. This course has a built-in foundation year that is designed to prepare you for more rigorous study in the subsequent three years of your course.
You’ll graduate with the same award and title as students on the three-year programme.
**More about this course**
Our Film and Television Studies (including foundation year) BA (Hons) will equip you with knowledge about the film and television industry, as well as transferable and practical skills that are applicable in the real-world.
The foundation year will be shared with students from other foundation year degrees in the School of Computing and Digital Media. This will be the ideal opportunity to meet students from different specialisms and exchange ideas on the programme you study.
Throughout your degree you’ll receive academic and pastoral support from your tutors and academic mentor. There will also be opportunities to attend career-related workshops, which can help you with skills, such as job application writing and interview techniques.
Following your foundation year you’ll study the same course content and have the same choice of modules as students on the traditional three-year course. Visit our Film and Television Studies BA (Hons) course page to learn more about the subsequent three years of your studies.
If, at the end of your foundation year, you’d like to change your specialism there will be flexibility to allow you to do this.
