In addition to a love of films and TV shows, do you enjoy reading novels, stories or poems and thinking about how they might translate onto the screen? Do you want to understand story-telling techniques more fully, giving you an additional skillset applicable to the creative sector and beyond?
If so, the joint English with Film and Television Studies degree at Brunel may be just what you’re looking for !
In addition to your English coursework, this degree provides you with an opportunity to study audio-video practices alongside 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. On the English side, you will study the major historical areas of English literature, through to recent publications in poetry, fiction and drama, whilst developing ‘human’ skills – critical and creative thinking, communication, and collaboration – all crucial to employability in the world of AI.
Finally, as a joint honours student, you will have access to Film and Television’s partnerships with the ScreenCraft Works and the BAFTA Albert programme, among others. These opportunities will help you develop an additional range of skills to further enhance your employability and open doors across a wide range of careers.
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.
