Today, more than at any time since the invention of mass communication technology, screen media is having a profound effect on our social, cultural and economic lives. Screen media is not just entertainment: it’s the primary medium for storytelling, and for learning more about the world we live in and the people who live in it with us. Film and Screen Studies is a dynamic and forward-facing programme of study that will give you the opportunity to explore the narrative, artistic, cultural, economic, and political implications of a wide range of diverse, global media. The modules on the course combine world class staff expertise with a contemporary and industry informed curriculum. In particular, the course will provide a space to think about the potential for screen texts to be a force for positive social change, and how representations on screen have the power to alter and effect people’s opinions and attitudes towards both historical and contemporary issues. We offer a supportive environment for learning where you can develop your love of cinema, television and many other forms of screen media, and learn vital life skills for your future career. **By studying at the University of Northampton, you can be sure that:** - You will experience student life at the University’s £330 million Waterside Campus.
