Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - Film and Television Studies

UEA's BA Film and Television Studies degree covers the history of film and television from its earliest days to the present. Students will explore the social and political contexts that shaped media storytelling and learn about the development of the industry and cinemagoing, perhaps encountering global phenomena like Doctor Who or the Marvel adaptations along the way, or other topics to inspire their studies while sharpening their critical powers. There are also opportunities for students to do media practice, and to gain insights into the creative process of making film and television by producing their own creative work.  

Students will make use of UEA's outstanding facilities, valuable partnerships, and local opportunities. The school is home to the sector-leading East Anglian Film Archive – a unique resource that students might use in shaping their own Final Year dissertation. They have close links with the British Film Institute in London and the Norwich Film Festival. Meanwhile, students will be studying in a region, that is a dynamic centre of the media industries, and home to local production companies. 

Students will develop many transferable skills on this degree course, including high-level research and communication skills, teamwork, leadership, and self-management. These highly desirable transferable skills will open doors to a wide variety of careers, whether you want to become a writer, producer, or director in the industry, or explore other occupations in marketing, advertising, the charity sector, and more besides. In the past, graduates have gone on to achieve success as film industry executives, producers, media managers, creative directors, or work in other related areas such as film heritage, for example.
