Film Studies BA (Hons)

Explore film as an art form and as an industry.

You’ll develop the skills to understand how cinema entertains, informs and influences its audiences. You could research Hollywood blockbusters, international art cinema, or contemporary television. You’ll encounter a wide range of cinema, from documentary and activist filmmaking to comedy, musicals and teen films.

Our specialist options allow you to investigate global film cultures; question representations of gender, race and sexuality; and analyse popular genres. You’ll be able to find the films that interest you in our exclusive Resource Centre’s collection of over 5,000 films. And Brighton is the perfect place to study film. The city hosts several festivals every year, showcasing the latest cinema from around the world.
