Film Studies with Philosophy

How do film and television interact with society? do audio-visual media simply reflect the world around us, or do they help to make it what it is? by combining film studies (75% of your course) with philosophy (25%) you'll bring different and exciting approaches to the understanding of film. our unique 360˚ approach to cinema allows you to understand film from every angle: from stars to directors, historical origins to contemporary economics, socio-political contexts, to aesthetic achievements and from the dynamics of screenplays to the global cultures that shape production, reception and film form itself. you'll come away from the course speaking confidently about concepts and ideas, with the ability to deftly critique them, too – ideal skills for the communication industries, creative arts and beyond.

ELP programs are offered by universities or pathway institutions to assist students in achieving the language proficiency required for academic studies. You can get admitted to your course with a lower language requirement if you do an ELP program.

You will not only learn a range of key transferable skills across the degree but also underpin these with a thorough grounding in the history and theory of film and tv, and understanding of the economic and power structures behind media production – invaluable for careers in creative companies who want to look ahead to future trends. our graduates have gone in to the film, television and digital production sector, a wide-range of jobs in the communications industries and careers in high-level research positions, such as for the house of lords, barclays bank and more.

Work while you study

You can also work on a UK student visa, from 10 to 20 hours per week during the academic year, 40 hours per week or full-time during vacations.
