Starting in September 2024, the School of Arts and Humanities, which includes this course, will move to our City Campus. The course itself will remain the same, with no changes to its content. If you've already applied for this course, you should have received an email explaining how this move might impact you.

This joint honours degree offers a range of interesting and relevant modules for anyone who is interested in communication methods and the film industry. Communication & Society will introduce you to interesting new forms of politics and economics and how these are vital to understand different variations of communication. Film & TV will show you how films and TV programmes are created, how they work and how we create meaning from them as an audience. Communication & Society will allow you to examine the rapidly changing transformations society, people and technologies are taking. Therefore, it's important that you understand the different forms of social communication that takes place between individuals, organisations, humanity and nature. This course will also explore the way that communication takes shape through the evolving use of the media. The course uses an equal amount of theoretical and practical aspects of communication including non-verbal and unconscious communication. Both subjects will teach you through a variation of lectures, tutorials and workshops and you'll partake in discussions and group work. As a Film & TV student at NTU, you'll experience our unique slant on this fascinating area. Our diverse choice of modules not only explore fundamental approaches and innovative thinking within film and television study, but also allow you to pursue your own specialist interests. This joint honours degree will allow you to strengthen your interpersonal , creative, theoretical and practical skills. You'll be able to analyse a range of texts and make academic interpretations about them. You'll enhance your planning and organisation skills. You'll be equipped with the right tools to be able to understand different aspects of communication. You'll learn to make sense of films and TV programmes and articulate how audiences create meaning from them. Our recent undergraduates have gone onto careers in; broadcasting, marketing, publishing, public relations and advertising. Other undergraduates have chosen to work in events management, business management, social work and teaching. Many of our graduates have undertaken further study in one of our master level courses and PhD research degrees.
