Film and Screen Studies (Joint Honours) BA (Hons)

Our Film and Screen Studies Joint Honours course will develop your understanding of the significance, history, theory and industries of screen media like film, television, online media and video games, as well as giving you a taste of production work. You will combine this with another area of your interest through a Joint honours degree. Joint honours degrees allow you to study two subjects. You can study them both equally, or focus on one more than the other, creating a major/minor split.

We will support you to achieve your career and study ambitions, which is why if you complete our Employability Plus Gold programme or Changemaker Gold certificate alongside your studies and if you haven’t secured full-time employment 12 months after graduating* we will secure a three – six month paid internship for you, or support you into postgraduate study.

Our Film and Screen Studies degree gives you the chance to explore screen media, examining their role in popular culture, their form and content, the technology and industry that produce them, and practical aspects of how they are made. We aim to help you to become passionate, knowledgeable and thoughtful about screen media.

This Joint Honours course is for anyone interested in the role of screen media in contemporary society. You will develop your passion for movies, television, YouTube or video games, learning more about the history, social impact and industrial landscape of these media, and engaging with the practical side of making media products. Being able to think critically and creatively about the movies, shows and online content that surround us every day helps you to grasp the significant role that screen media play in our lives and our cultures, and prepares you for entering the creative industries.

Campus Information

Waterside Campus

In the summer of 2018 the University of Northampton moved to the brand-new Waterside Campus. This seven-year project saw a neglected brownfield site transformed into a successful and impressive new campus that facilitated a radical re-engineering of the University in terms of both teaching methodology and governance structures. aterside is a waterfront site of 24 hectares on the edge of the town centre. Its successful completion has turned a derelict site into a leading facility in the higher education sector. The project brief emphasised integration, of the University into the town and local community, and of departments, facilities and teams within the University itself. New pedestrian and road bridges and cycle routes link the site to the town, and public facilities and commercial outlets are part of a Waterside experience which continues beyond the University to local historic buildings and parks.
