BA (Hons) History with Film
Study with a top History department and be taught from the cutting edge of historical research. Further your skills with a unique film course which combines the study of film as an art form with learning the practical skills of film making.
Through our diverse and inclusive History curriculum, you will learn about an array of cultures and identities. What links our work is our focus on people’s history and everyday lives. This is represented strongly in our first-year program, which will give you an insight into the making of the modern world through exploration of faith, magic and medicine, campaigns for freedom and equality, Africa and the world, and America from Hamilton to Trump.
Our expert colleagues in Film take a similar international approach. You will explore the fascinating world of Hollywood, World Cinema, European Cinema as well as the film industry in Britain, so you have insider knowledge of what makes a successful film and appreciate diverse genres, contexts, cultures, and filmmaking techniques. Throughout your degree, the common link between the two disciplines will be the development of analytical skills. As historians, you will learn to analyse historical documents and debates among historians, while in Film you’ll develop the ability to analyze visual material, understand the craft of film making and gain new perspectives on the world.
Study abroad
Taking a year’s study abroad is an excellent opportunity to broaden your understanding of the world. Living in another country opens up fresh perspectives and helps create global citizens. Immersing yourself in a host country enhances your learning, giving you a greater appreciation of other cultures and societies, and a deeper understanding of their everyday lives.
What’s more, it would be a brilliant opportunity to learn about another film industry, particularly if you choose film active areas such as California or Australia.
