BA Film and Drama (Including Year Abroad)
About this course
On our Film and Drama course you study themes in drama such as gender, identity, tragedy, human rights, devising and playwriting. Our course is perfect for the creative types. Upon graduation you'll be ready to break into the world of cinema, the stage and behind the scenes - and a whole range of other graduate careers in the arts, media, education, and the creative industries. We don't stop there though, we make sure you know the theory behind theatre and the screen too. You study themes in drama such as gender, identity, tragedy, human rights, devising and playwriting. Your film modules explore directing, screenwriting, classic and contemporary texts and many aspects of screen media, from cinema to social media. You also gain the skills in technical theatre and film production, like design and stage management, camerawork, editing and film-making. You'll still write essays as in any other Humanities degree, but alongside honing your critical writing and thinking, you'll also have the chance to be assessed on your creativity, performance and technical skills. What makes us different? We also offer many modules which bring the disciplines of film and drama together. Our modules Directing Actors for Film and Introduction to Screenwriting give you a seamless mix of both film and drama so you can excel throughout the screen and the stage.
