Study Level
Undergraduate
Study Mode
On Campus
Our BA Film, Media and Language course combines studying a 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 organisations, 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.
The languages component of this degree is designed to give you the chance to reach a high level of competence in a modern language of your choice and study the associated culture(s) of that language. You can choose French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish starting at the level of language learning that suits you, whether you are a complete beginner or a native speaker. Korean is offered starting from beginner level. If you decide to take this language, your final degree award will be a ‘with’ degree, so for example BA Film and Media with Korean, because we currently offer this language up to intermediate level only.
This course is one of a cluster of courses in Film and Media which are taught by highly experienced tutors with links in key film and media institutions. Other courses can be found under the pathways section of this page.
If you opt for the Foundation Year route, this will fully prepare you for undergraduate study. It is ideal if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied the relevant subjects, or if you didn't achieve the grades you need for a place on your chosen undergraduate degree.
