Profile
Film and broadcasting are about telling stories—whether fiction or factual. This course combines high standards of training in production skills to make programs—dramas and documentaries for radio, television, and cinema—with a solid academic education in media theory and contextual studies. Film and broadcasting require both passion and discipline. The best films, documentaries, and radio features come from students who are interested in the wider world, and who have an awareness of current affairs and the socio-political forces that shape society. Potential students should be curious and open, displaying an eagerness to learn and to understand people, systems of all kinds, and their historical contexts.
While the core focus is on traditional media, you’ll also study new media forms, which require all of the traditional skillsets and are really about delivering stories in different formats or supporting traditional storytelling (e.g., a TV program) in different ways. This program’s strength lies in the integrated approach to theory and practice. You’ll develop a critical and reflective understanding of a wide range of subject areas that both inform and underpin content development. It is this blend that continues to attract potential employers to our graduates. It also supports a broad range of career possibilities. Students have the opportunity to go on an Erasmus exchange for one semester in the third year. Upon graduation, you may proceed to postgraduate studies leading to the award of an MSc, MPhil, or Ph.D. at research institutes and universities worldwide.
