About this course
Immerse yourself in the study of film from a variety of perspectives: as popular art or political tool, as big business, and as cultural and historical artefact. You’ll study familiar classics alongside contemporary cinema, with genres including film noir, horror, science fiction, documentary and animation. From the earliest projected images to the present day, you’ll learn to view films with a critical eye.
We are ranked 11th in the UK for Communication and Media Studies*
Our digital humanities facilities will allow you to study and research through cutting-edge technology, such as virtual reality, 3D scanners and printers, and a 360 degree fully immersive audio-visual centre.
If you’re interested in learning practical filmmaking skills such as directing, producing, scriptwriting and camera work, you can get involved with our student-led film, TV and radio societies. You can also choose to spend a semester or summer abroad at one of our partner universities.
