BA (hons) Film And Media Studies in Manchester Metropolitan University

Overview

Film and Media Studies gives you the opportunity to explore in depth both cinema and the broad range of established, new and emergent media forms, from TV to games.

Taught by a large team with a diverse range of interests, you’ll have access to cutting-edge research expertise and excellent resources in a department as dedicated to supporting students as it is to inspiring them.

Film modules introduce you to the history of cinema and the many forms and genres that have evolved. Broaden your horizons from Anglo-American film to world cinemas, and develop your skills as a critical interpreter of the cinematic text. Media modules also explore development, forms and criticism, but have a particular focus on current and emerging platforms and industries. In your final year you’ll focus your study on your own chosen areas of specialism, working with academics who are experts in those fields. 

The creative industries sector in Manchester offers a broad range of opportunities in professions linked to film and media. The city is an excellent place to study this subject and to begin gaining experience and building your networks. We’ll help you to be ready for the world beyond university by giving you the opportunity to engage with external partners, and by giving you options to study abroad as part of your course, or to spend a year on a placement in Britain or abroad.
