| Programme description |
| The single honours Film Studies degree introduces you to a range of international cinema movements, figures, texts and theories. You will also develop some practical skills, for example scriptwriting and film production. In the first year you take eight modules designed to provide a solid foundation in cinema history, the European industry, film language, concepts and technology. In later years you take modules in film theory and a selection of options in specialist areas of your choice. The final year gives you the opportunity to undertake a supervised project, either written or practical, while the remainder of the programme is made up of advanced study in specialist areas that correspond to your interests and skills. |

| Career opportunities |
| Potential careers include directly related fields like film and television, especially on the production side. You’ll also be well placed for jobs in the media sector generally: journalism, public relations, advertising, new media and so on. Careers demanding good communications skills, such as teaching, personnel management and marketing will be open to you, plus, of course, many other graduate careers for which a specific degree is not needed, from management consultancy and accountancy to finance and law. Every year we have lots of students who go on to study further at postgraduate level (be warned – Film Studies can be addictive!). |
