Film and television are central to global culture. They entertain, inform, promote ideologies and help us communicate to and connect with other cultures.
If you want to look at how they do this - and why - Film and Television Studies is for you.
You'll explore:
- their history and development
- how audiences interact and respond
- the practices and reach of screen industries
Your internationally recognised lecturers will help you develop the skills to think critically about, investigate and analyse film and television.
Our optional video production module will give you a practical introduction to the skills needed to work behind (and in front of) the camera.
Our Creative Student Network will also help you get to the heart of current media industries. It organises:
- talks by leading practitioners
- practical skills and CV writing workshops
- opportunities to intern at global media organisations (such as Disney and the Art Directors Guild in Los Angeles, and Red Bee Creative in London)
**Combine with another subject**
You can also combine Film and Television Studies with American Studies in our joint honours programme, or study alongside multiple disciplines in our BA Liberal Arts.
**Foundation Year**
This course is also available with a Foundation Year - aimed at developing potential and diversifying our recruitment.
