Program Overview

Tell your story with our hands-on Film degree

Explore the stories that matter to you with our London-based Film degree. You will explore theoretical, practical, and industry perspectives, covering subjects like:

  • film theory
  • film production
  • the media and society
  • world cinema
  • animation studies
  • documentary making
  • horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.

With a wide variety of modules, you can focus on the areas that interest you the most.

Learn in the capital

We are only 30 minutes from central London. Therefore, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore London’s diverse film industry. We’re also only a stone’s throw away from world-leading studios, such as:

  • Twickenham Studios

  • Shepperton Studios

  • Sky Studios

    .

Expert teaching and support

Your BA Film teachers are international experts within film, television, and popular culture. They are also here to support you. Our student, Charlotte, tells us that their lecturers “were on hand whenever [they] needed them” and had a “huge impact” on their success.

Work placements: build professional experience

During your film course, you can complete a paid work placement to gain contacts and experience in:

  • the media industries
  • scriptwriting and development
  • film criticism
  • media production
  • digital media
  • content creation.

About the Placement Year

A placement year enables you to undertake a year of experience in an organisation between your second and final year.

It will enable you to:

  • apply the knowledge and skills you gain from your course in a work setting
  • build your commercial awareness and insights into organisations and industries you might want to work in
  • develop your professional skills through company training, networking skills and confidence in the workplace
  • get some great experience for future job applications or even land a graduate job.

Support from St Mary’s every step of the way

Securing a placement can really help you develop your job search skills and the Employability Service placement and Careers Teams can support you to find and apply for available opportunities.

Please note:

in the event that you cannot secure a placement you will be able to transfer onto the three year version of your degree programme.
