Film and Media - BA/BA (Hons)
Our eclectic and inspiring BA/BA (Hons) in Film and Media course will give you the expertise to succeed in a variety of careers. You will learn practical filmmaking skills and have your critical thinking faculties sharpened to a fine point, through innovative teaching and learning approaches which foster resilient and collaborative working.
Film and moving images, within the wider media and cultural industries, play a central role in our contemporary experiences of the world. Our sense of who we are, and how we think about other peoples and cultures, is shaped by film and moving image media. Our course offers you the opportunity to examine this influence through creative practice and critical thinking. We will help you develop research and thinking skills to help you move beyond the obvious, and filmmaking and other creative skills to help you stand out amongst the crowd. Graduates are well equipped for careers in the creative industries and beyond.
