Love film and all aspects of media?

Gain personal professional, academic, and production skills from studying film and media theory alongside practical-based modules in film production. You can do a research-based placement, write a script, or produce video essays. You’ll cover the historical contexts and contemporary debates in film, media, and culture, and explore the relationships between film and media content and real-world impact. 

 

You’ll work with established research-active academics at the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies and study alongside scriptwriters, film makers, and media practitioners. Share, discuss, challenge, and explore your passion for film, TV, and other aspects of the media with like-minded people.

 

Get involved with extracurricular activities, including:

• Organised trips
• CineClub
• Spark Sunderland.

 

Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, group work, and e-learning. We encourage you to develop independent study skills.

 

As well as assessments that count towards your degree, there are also ongoing assessments for feedback and consolidating your learning.

 

Assessment methods include essays, reports, written coursework, projects, presentations, and exams.
