Find out about how we'll be delivering our courses in 2020.

Analyse and discuss the films and television programmes that you love, while learning practical skills for your future career.

You will have the opportunity to combine the study of ground-breaking theory with practical application, using our purpose-built £11m facilities that feature a multi-camera film and TV studio, a digital cinema, and dedicated recording studio and mixing suite.

You will study the complex histories and social impact of your chosen subject using various critical approaches and have the flexibility to specialise in your favourite areas. Depending on your chosen modules, you will also have the option to collaborate on short films and television pieces. This can include directing, projection, sound and lighting as well as post-production techniques such as editing, colour grading and sound mixing.

With the support of dedicated technicians, you will develop your technical skills in multimedia spaces designed to encourage innovation and creativity. This focus on collaboration in both our teaching and your creative development places the student community at the heart of the Department.

About the Department

Visit the Film, Theatre & Television website.

I had a fantastic time studying in the Film, Theatre & Television Department; all the tutors are passionate about their subjects and I had a lot of fun learning from them. A particularly great aspect of the seminars was the amount we were encouraged to contribute – who doesn't like talking about film?! The depth of analysis that is expected from both the English and Film, Theatre & Television Departments has helped me enormously as the film critic for Radio 1. I am grateful that my degree has directed me towards a tailor-made job and I feel far more confident in my knowledge of film as a result of studying it alongside theatre and television.
