The eclectic and inspiring BA Hons in Film and Media course will give you the expertise to succeed in a variety of careers. You will learn practical filmmaking and multimedia skills and have your critical thinking faculties sharpened to a fine point through innovative teaching and learning approaches that foster resilient, collaborative working.

Film and moving images, within the wider media and cultural industries, play a central role in our contemporary experiences of the world. Our sense of who we are and how we think about other people and cultures is shaped by film and moving image media. Our course offers you the opportunity to examine this influence through creative practice and critical thinking.

You will develop research and thinking skills to move beyond the obvious. We’ll support the development of your creative skills in areas such as film directing, screenwriting, editing, and photography, to help you stand out from the crowd. But we’ll also support your personal development through collaborative working, strengthened communication skills, and your ability to work independently and manage your time on projects. Our graduates have gone on to work across a range of areas in the creative industries, including the BBC and STV, independent production companies such as Blazing Griffin, and the wider creative and marketing industries.
