Communication happens through still and moving images, spoken and written words, music, drawing and animation. On this programme you will examine how old and new media are creating meaning today, while exploring film from its silent beginnings through to 3D CGI blockbusters and find your own voice as a critic and a creator.
Our degree consists of a balance between the two disciplines of Film and Media and Film, combining the core modules from each programme with options from the two.
In your study of Film, you'll learn about framing, sound, editing, performance and lighting - utilising our industry-standard equipment and facilities - while exploring genres and the global history of film from Hollywood to horror, avant-garde to animation.
The Media component of your degree enables you to study contemporary culture while undertaking creative practice. You may cover media identity and power, media diversity and ethics, while exploring further creative areas of your choice, such as podcasting, photography, curating and digital storytelling.
It is possible to take this degree with a year in industry to gain valuable work experience or combine the degree with a year abroad. At the end of your course, you could even add a year in Computing, Data Analytics, Journalism or a Language to your degree.
