Do you want to combine your love of   theatre with your passion for films?   Do  you want to work in an industry   which transforms the ways in which   we experience the world – whether on   stage or on screen?  

If so, the joint Theatre and Film Production   degree at Brunel may be just what  you’re   looking for !  

In addition to your theatre   coursework, you will have the opportunity to   make short films whilst studying on a range   of modules that focus on how screen media   have been variously theorised. You will have   the flexibility to map your own route through   the programme by combining theory and   practice modules in a way that work best for   you, and this joint degree can be as hands - on   as you make it! On the theatre side of the   programme, you will explore a wide   variety   of specialisms ranging from acting, applied   drama, theatre making, musical theatre,   physical  theatre  and playwriting.  

As a joint Theatre and Film Production   student, you will have access to camera,   sound, lighting and editing equipment through   Brunel’s Media Teaching Centre. Training   on the technology is embedded into this   degree programme and as a student you have   access to this equipment both in and out of   term time. Finally, as a joint student, you can   take advantage of the Film and Television’s   partnerships with  ScreenCraft  Works and the   BAFTA Albert programme, among others.  

Why Brunel?

Central to our educational mission is a   commitment to ensuring that all our graduates   are ready for a career in the creative sector.   The theme of employability is embedded in   every level of our programmes and, from the   moment that you join us, you will be required   to think about how to construct a professional   identity, to make sense of employment   practices in the film and television industries,   and to build a CV that will set you apart in a   highly competitive job market. And  we’ll  help   you to negotiate the challenges of developing   a distinctive creative voice in the era of AI.  

Our  on-campus  editing suites give you access to Adobe Creative Cloud among other programmes and these facilities are supported by our technical staff. Help is never far away while  you’re  knee-deep in your latest audio-visual project! Checking out equipment for your course-related projects or your own creative ones is straightforward, and we encourage students to make the most of  what’s  on offer here. On your degree you will have access to a variety of high-end filmmaking equipment, including a Netflix-approved 12k camera. You will also have access to our Green Screen Studio.   

Studying film at Brunel offers you many opportunities beyond the classroom. Our students  benefit  from our partnerships with key industry bodies and external  organisations  ( like  BAFTA’s Albert and  ScreenCraft  Works)  that support aspiring screen professionals and  provide  a range of extra-curricular activities. Students at Brunel will be eligible to spend the second semester of your second year on exchange at York University in Toronto, one of the most important centres of film production in North America. The university also offers various short-term mobility schemes for students that allow them to spend some time abroad.   

Like most Brunel students, you will have the   option  of doing a placement year between   your second and third year of study. With the   support of our award-winning  Student Development team , you can secure an   internship that is a good fit in terms of   your professional aspirations. If  that’s  not   for you, though,  you’ll  still have plenty   of opportunities over the course of your   studies to hone your career .   

For example, our single honour students  are required to  take  Analysis of Film and  Television  W ork  Ex perience  module in their final year which requires students to complete 70 hours of work experience .   (This module is optional if you are a  joint honours  student).   

Throughout your time with us, we encourage you to think expansively in terms of how you might apply your skill set and in which corner of the industry. We have developed close links not only with film and television production companies but also with post-production houses, charities, marketing companies, corporate video producers, and podcasting studios. In recent  years  our students have completed short placements with Scott Free Productions (Napoleon), Shondaland (Bridgerton), IMG Sports, the British Red Cross, the Beck Theatre,  OnSight   Post Production , Baby Cow Productions, Rex Brown Studios,  NextShoot , Antonia Claudie,  CaviarTV , and the National Theatre.
