Film Production and Theatre

Film production and theatre is a combination that develops both creative and critical engagement with two of the most significant performing and media arts. Theatre is one of humanity's oldest art forms, rooted in live performance and the shared experience of performers and audience in the same space. Film production translates storytelling into the language of moving images, combining technical craft with creative vision to shape how audiences experience narrative, character, and world.

Studying both together develops a broader understanding of how stories are told and meaning is made across different media, and a set of practical skills that spans both.

Brunel University London's three-year full-time Film Production and Theatre degree offers flexibility, as the course describes, allowing you to map your own route through the programme by combining theory and practice modules in ways that suit your interests and ambitions. The typical entry tariff is 120 points. On the film side, you will have the opportunity to make short films and study how screen media have been theorised and analysed.

The theatre strand explores a wide variety of specialisms, including acting, applied drama, theatre-making, musical theatre, physical theatre, and playwriting. The degree can be as hands-on as you make it, and the combination of making and studying means you develop both critical understanding and practical skills in these related but distinct forms.

Graduates work in film and television production, theatre, arts education, applied drama and community arts, scriptwriting, directing, arts administration, and media and cultural journalism. Many also move into adjacent roles in advertising, marketing, content creation, and digital media. Postgraduate study in film, theatre, performance, media studies, or arts education is a natural direction for those wishing to develop their practice or pursue academic research.
