Course Overview

Our BA Film, Media, and Language course combines studying modern language and its associated culture with film and media studies. You will gain a thorough grounding in different areas of media study and an understanding of the ways in which the media relate to each other. You will develop a critical approach so that you can put your own and others' work in context. You will also have the opportunity to study a number of cross-cultural modules which allow you to explore specific themes across a variety of language-speaking areas.

This course introduces you to the academic study of film, television, and screenwriting and will equip you with core knowledge and practice-based skills for work in film and media organizations, and in the creative industries. You will learn how technology, business, and human creativity have forged our contemporary media world and will be challenged to engage critically and imaginatively with a wide variety of film/media forms and styles from around the world and from different historical periods.

Graduates can pursue career paths in film and television companies, museums and galleries, arts administration, and teaching. Possible professions include:

program researcher (broadcasting/film/video)

museum/gallery curator

arts administrator

higher education lecturer.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond.
