Film Studies and Italian BA (Hons)

Film Studies degree combines critical and creative work and practice, depending on your interests and career plans. At Bangor, we are committed to teaching in small groups and to most of our modules being delivered through weekly workshops and seminars. The School of Creative Studies and Media is unique in its close integration of critical and theoretical approaches with hands-on creative practice. Students in the School have the opportunity at all levels to combine a study of their chosen field with practice-based outcomes such as writing, performance, and media/digital media production. Our graduates work in the film, media and creative industries, in teaching, in arts development, in film programming, filmmaking and scheduling, and in other fields where their developed visual sense and ability to engage critically and creatively with film is seen to be of considerable importance. Several graduates each year go on to develop their work further with us through a period of postgraduate study, where once again the School uniquely offers a combination of critical and creative approaches to the study of film and film practice.

You can study Film Studies as a joint honour’s degree with Italian (50% Film Studies and 50% Italian). Creative Studies and Media courses offer several career paths for you to choose from once you graduate. They emphasise the importance of creative exploration, and actual university-level critical understanding. These things - the ability to be creatively adaptable, consider the tools at hand and apply creative thinking, the importance of innovation and a combination of practical and critical knowledge - make Creative Studies and Media graduates’ ideal employees or, indeed, creative entrepreneurs in their own businesses.
