BA Film and Television Studies

... United Kingdom
... Brunel University London

Course Overview

Your degree will give you a thorough understanding of film by combining production with the theory of visual digital media. Delve into practical film and video-making, scriptwriting, filming and editing, whilst honing your critical analysis and research skills to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the film and TV industries work.

You will benefit from our fantastic editing suites which have up-to-date production software including Adobe Creative Cloud; Avid Media Composer; Avid ProTools, and; Final Cut Pro. We also have a range of high-quality cameras, sound, lighting, and grip equipment ready for you to use. These resources will allow you to bring your ideas, thoughts and creations to life.

To complement your learning you’ll watch weekly screenings of a film or programme relevant to the topic being studied followed by a lecture that covers some of the key ideas and theories of film and television. After the lecture, you have the opportunity to contribute to group discussions and share ideas with others in your seminars. This format allows you to develop a strong understanding of what goes into the entertainment on our screens and gives you the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with your peers.

As well as enhancing your learning by attending screenings at the British Film Institute, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and other cinemas across the capital, you will also be eligible to enter our annual Brunel University Film Festival (BUFF) with categories including Best Fiction, Best Non-Fiction and Best Overall Film. This will allow you to put what you have learnt into practice and will give you the opportunity to showcase your talent.

Learn with confidence knowing that you are taught by some of the best film academics in the UK. Not only are they experts in the industry, but they have published work in the field so some of the books on your reading list may be written by those teaching you. You can find out more about our team here.

The Film and Television Studies BA is a part of the BAFTA albert education partnership. This accreditation provides students with exclusive access to the industry’s BAFTA albert carbon calculator, a tool used by Netflix, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, UKTV and Sky when producing their content. Participating students will work towards creating environmentally friendly, sustainable content. Upon completion, you will be presented with industry-recognised certification and become an official “BAFTA albert graduate”. This opportunity is provided at no extra cost.
