Our BA (Hons) Film and Screen Studies (with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement.From silent movies to the modern era, British cinema to Latin American indigenous filmmaking, fiction to documentary, our BA (Hons) Film & Screen Studies degree course at UCA Farnham will take you deep into the wonder of film, television, and video games. This degree is aimed at those people who have a passion for the moving image, but are most intrigued by its contexts, theories, and histories. You will spend much of your time watching, analysing, and discussing a wide range of media and will be encouraged to develop your own research interests. With access to our purpose-built film studios and dedicated technical support, you’ll have opportunities to apply your knowledge to creative tasks, making short films and video essays, curating a festival, and creating blogs and posters. You’ll also be able to take creative electives from other courses to expand your understanding of film production, acting, music, or animation. Whatever your career ambitions, you’ll gain the expert critical and analytical skills to pursue your goals.
