Film and Visual Culture is an intellectually stimulating degree that combines practice and theory, giving students the opportunity to both create and analyze a range of cultural texts - from fiction film and documentary, to photography and animation.
This degree is underpinned by creative and critical practice. It is creative because it gives students the opportunity to develop practical skills in the fields of screenwriting, filmmaking (drama and documentary), photography and animation. It is critical because it involves the in-depth study of film history and theory, including the way in which cinema intersects with a range of social and political issues. Students will graduate with a degree underpinned by academic rigor, but with the transferable skills needed to pursue a wide variety of careers in the creative industries.
Media and Communication provides students with an opportunity to closely study and analyze the ways in which the media industry shapes and is shaped by the world. Liverpool Hope University's degrees are designed to help them become an industry leader equipped to take on the key task of working towards a more reliable, trustworthy media industry, and to work as a cross-platform media practitioner.
