Course Overview

Studying in combination, Film Studies and Media & Culture enable you to explore the history and impact of arguably the defining creative and communications media of our times. Both subject areas provide you with opportunities to benefit from your lecturers' cutting-edge research in aspects of film, media, and culture - from the cultural meaning of zombie cinema to the development of British crime film to 'green' computer games and popular music. Both subject areas also provide you with opportunities for work placements and volunteering. If you are interested in cinema as part of our contemporary culture of communication, and in the ways that media communication at once reflects and shapes today's world, then Film Studies and Media & Culture in combination may be an ideal program of study for you.

Graduates of Film Studies and Media & Culture work in a wide range of careers to which communication skills are central, including marketing and public relations, distribution, audience-based marketing, publishing, media and journalism, film education, exhibition, curating, programming, filmmaking, screenwriting, business and industry, charities and public administration.

Furthermore, in a 'media society', where an understanding of how to communicate is all-important, graduates of media and cultural studies now work in a wide range of other industries and are involved in designing websites, writing publicity and press material, and running media training. Employment sectors include marketing, public relations, event management, teaching, business, and the public sector.
