Course programme
You may choose from a wide range of modules in Film and Television Studies including popular film genres such as science fiction, and contemporary television programmes like Scandi-noir productions.
As well as Hollywood spectaculars, you will have the opportunity to study other national cinemas, in particular French, Italian, British, Indian and Iranian, and directors including Hitchcock, Scorsese, Fellini, Truffaut, Nolan, Burton and Kiarostami.
Throughout your three years of study you may choose to follow a production or screenwriting strand, and explore critical approaches to film, such as visual stylistics, narrative theory, storytelling and plot construction as well as the theory behind editing and camera work.
Film and Television Studies classes consist of lectures, often followed by a screening of a film or television programme and a discussion on the work, either in small groups or among the whole class. You will take six modules every year, three before and three after Christmas.
In your second year you have the opportunity to engage in a work placement, and in your final year you can choose either to do a further work placement, or a written project, producing a piece of research for an external organisation. We currently provide local producers and directors with pre-production research, and after-hours film clubs in local schools and colleges. Other placements have involved organising film premières, securing project funding and assisting with scriptwriting and editing.
Several large organisations, such as BBC Birmingham, have continued to provide work placements and we always endeavour to expand our database of placement organisations to include dynamic and innovative local filmmakers. Alternatively you can write a dissertation on a subject of your choice which you are passionate about.
