Film Studies BA (Hons)
Film Studies is delivered at DMU’s city campus, and at the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester, which acts as a base for many film events. There, you will watch films on the big screen in a modern cinema environment, and, depending on your specialization, you will also organize your own festivals and events, and make films using state-of-the-art equipment. Ultimately, the goal of the Film Studies degree is to take your interest in movies and translate that passion into a broad range of different graduate-level skills.
You don’t need any experience of filmmaking to apply, and graduates go on to work in a very broad range of different fields, including film and TV but also finance, PR, banking, tourism, and other areas. Film Studies at DMU can be taken either as a Single or Joint Honours course. Whichever route you choose, you will be taught by a team of experienced subject experts and develop a diverse range of valuable skills.
In an increasingly media-focused world, this course will develop your existing passion for film and TV into a prospective career, helping you acquire a skill set required for many technical and creative roles.
From broadcast journalism to the arts and events, this course focuses on the study of film and its variety of uses and challenges you to see far beyond just the viewing experience.
You will be able to choose modules that combine practice and study, giving you a strong theoretical understanding, as well as versatile skills such as communication and critical analysis. Our graduates go on to work in a variety of fields, including film and TV, but also finance, public relations, banking, and tourism.
