**Studying BA (Hons) Film Studies at Plymouth College of Art means a dynamic interdisciplinary experience: you’ll develop strong analytical, critical and written skills, as well as experiencing key concepts in practical film-making to deepen your understanding of the film medium. It is uniquely situated within an independent art school which means that you will study film as an artform as well as a carrier of content, with a focus on artist’s moving image, experimental and independent film.**
- Work with external clients, building your confidence and your professional networks.
- Access our industry-level facilities.
A key area for Film Studies students will be Plymouth Arts Cinema; Plymouth’s independent arts cinema, located at the heart of our city centre campus. This exciting partnership with the cinema provides opportunities for you to study cinema programming, exhibition and distribution and also to work on joint projects with the cinema in live project briefs: to programme seasons of documentary, feature and independent films, to introduce films and events and to write programme and publicity copy and critical articles for audiences at the cinema.
You will also have the opportunity to work with film technologies resourced from our professional Multimedia Lab, with the opportunity to work alongside our established and award-winning Film + Screen Arts programme, as well as collaborating with Animation and Game Arts students in interdisciplinary projects.
The programme is designed to equip you to work in film exhibition, programming, distribution and festivals, and to develop careers within film criticism, teaching, community arts and arts administration and journalism (including hard copy, online and broadcast) as well as for further study at postgraduate level and for research in Film Studies and related disciplines.

Standard Qualification Requirements
Although many of our students do come in with top grades and high UCAS points, these aren’t necessarily essential for entry. We typically ask for a minimum of 112 UCAS points, but we understand that talented artists, designers and makers can have a wide range of relevant strengths and skills beyond formal qualifications. We’re just as interested in exploring your portfolio and discussing your creative experiences as we are in seeing your grades.
Your application will tell us about your qualifications and previous experience, but studying the arts is about more than can be captured on forms. We need to find out about your creative potential, your abilities and idiosyncrasies, so we will invite you to talk about your work with a member of our HE academic team. You can tell us about your aspirations, and why you want to study at the college. It is also a good moment to find out what we can offer you.
We encourage you to visit the college, so that you can see our facilities, meet our teaching and technical staff, and discuss any other queries you may have; however we appreciate this may not be possible, and are happy to talk to you via an online platform (such as Google Meet or similar).
We accept a range of international qualifications and will look at each application individually.
