This degree program explores cinema and television as powerful influences in contemporary culture, offering both entertainment and education.
The course serves as excellent preparation for diverse careers in media, arts, and cultural sectors. Recent graduates have secured positions including feature film location assistant in Scotland, researcher at the British Film Institute, and internships with Park Circus film distribution.
Alumni have established successful careers with prominent organizations like the BBC and STV, working as media professionals, journalists, arts administrators, and academics.
The first two years establish foundational knowledge through theoretical, critical, and historical studies. During Honours years, students combine required and elective courses for specialized study, including practical components that deepen media understanding. Core courses like Screen Analysis and Screen Histories develop analytical skills and historical perspectives on film and television.
Specialized options may cover regional cinema (such as postwar Japanese films or Scottish productions), genres (including animation, film noir, and melodrama), production techniques (like screenwriting and audio-visual criticism), and thematic studies (such as children's television or screen performance).
