BA (Hons) Film and Media Studies offers a broad perspective on media and film culture, affording a unique balance of theory and practice. The combined degree provides a sound base of knowledge in media and film studies, exploring historical perspectives, cutting edge contemporary media and film theory. It also allows for creative development through practice modules, including specialist strands in video filmmaking, animation, creative publishing, and radio.
BA (Hons) Film Studies explores formal, historical, and cultural contexts of cinema and spectatorship, and approaches the study of film in a number of different ways, from the close reading of individual films, to a broader consideration of film as an industry and as an art form. The range of filmmaking that we look at spans the history of cinema, takes in practices from across the world, and incorporates the avant-garde through to Hollywood blockbusters.
Media Studies is one of the most dynamic and relevant topics for study in today's global and interconnected society. The media's centrality to culture, politics, economics and identity make it a vital and necessary discipline, in terms of both developing a critical perspective on the modern world, and encouraging a creative and vibrant media culture.
The emphasis of the degree is on informed thinking about media and film, and critical thinking and exploration through both theory and practice.
