... University of Salford

Course Overview

A film is a necessary form of cultural output. The way films are produced and distributed constantly changes, but their ability to educate, entertain and inspire audiences remains the same. So if you’re looking for a vibrant program to explore all facets of film and the film industry, this BA (Hons) Film Studies degree is the right choice.

What exactly do film studies at university involve? You’ll explore a range of critical approaches to film, from developments in American and British cinema to representations of masculinity throughout Hollywood history. With a truly global focus, you’ll also delve into cinema from across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and beyond, evaluating the role of cinema as a significant entertainment industry and thinking about film as a political, socio-cultural, and artistic proposition. What’s more, this degree in film studies gives you a chance to learn alongside recognized scholars of film culture, with a wide range of specialist modules on offer that will help you align your course with the topics that interest you most. Finally, with industry links and a focus, especially on film journalism, film festivals, and distribution and exhibition, this degree is also designed to align you with the sector.

You will:

  • Explore a wide range of critical approaches to film in a variety of contexts

  • Study in MediaCity: home to the film, TV, radio sector, and creative industries in the north-quest (Greater Manchester)

  • Develop your understanding of American, British, Asian, and selected global cinemas from their origins to today.
