Film and Television with Innovation

Film and television combined with innovation reflects a recognition that the twenty-first century's most significant contributions to culture and technology come from people who can think across arts, science, engineering, humanities, and enterprise. The innovators of the century are team players with a breadth of skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures, and the combination of creative media skills with an innovation mindset is particularly well suited to the rapidly changing landscape of how screen content is made and distributed.

At the University of Bristol, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, providing an accessible and well-supported entry route before you move into the main curriculum. You will develop substantive skills in film and television studies, including the analysis and production of screen content, alongside an engagement with innovation theory, entrepreneurship, and the creative and technical dimensions of bringing new ideas to life. Bristol is a significant centre for independent television and film production in the UK, and the programme benefits from that proximity.

The combination of creative media knowledge and innovation capability prepares you for a range of careers that sit at the intersection of the screen industries and the broader creative and technology sectors. The typical entry tariff is 152 UCAS points, and the degree is studied full time.

Graduates go on to careers in television production, film, documentary, digital content, creative technology, media innovation, and entrepreneurship within the creative industries. Further study options include postgraduate programmes in film, media, creative industries, and innovation management.
