Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Film Studies (P30A)

BA(Hons) Film Studies enhances students' understanding and enjoyment of cinema. They'll study more than a century of American, British and world cinema, and learn about the social, cultural and economic factors that influence film. Examine film criticism, marketing and festivals, and explore how film is produced and consumed.

Learn from leading academics. Explore different styles and forms of filmmaking, from contemporary blockbusters and indie movies, to documentaries, silent shorts and avant-garde experiments.

Bristol is a creative hub for film and the arts, and staff have strong relationships with local organizations, including the Watershed Media Centre, the Arnolfini and the Cube Microplex.

Take up volunteering, work experience and internship opportunities with collaborating arts organizations, pop-up events, and festivals such as Encounters Film Festival and the Bristol Radical Film Festival. There are also options to do summer work experience, or a sandwich year placement after Year two.

Students' expertise in communication, critical analysis, research and creative thinking will be needed in a variety of sectors. They could go on to work on film festivals or events, create their own films or write about them. Or move into other sectors such as publishing, digital content creation or advertising.
