Course summary

This degree programme studies cinema and television as major forces of enjoyment and knowledge within modern culture.This programme is a valuable preparation for careers in various aspects of the media, arts and cultural industries. The immediate job destinations of some of our recent graduates have included location assistant for feature film productions in Scotland, researcher at British Film Institute, and an internship at film distribution company, Park Circus.Older graduates are now firmly established in their chosen creative fields, working for leading media companies such as the BBC and STV or as arts administrators, journalists and media academics.Years 1 and 2 provide a theoretical, critical and historical grounding. At Honours you will have the opportunity to combine core and optional courses involving more specialist study via these approaches, and to explore the role of practical work in enhancing understanding of both media. You will take two courses, Screen analysis and Screen histories, which introduce techniques of film and television analysis and offer perspectives on film and television history.These will typically include courses on particular periods and places (eg postwar Japanese cinema,Scottish film and television) genres (eg animation, film noir and melodrama) theory and practice of film and television (eg audio-visual criticism, screenwriting) and specific themes (eg screen performance, children’s television).
