About this course
Today’s media are rapidly changing the ways we live, work, and socialise. A degree in Film, TV, and Digital Media will help you understand the impact of these changes locally and globally.
You’ll learn about:
- film, TV, and Digital Media across different social, historical, and cultural contexts, and from significant theoretical perspectives
- how the media works, its impacts on society, and the issues that shape public debates and concerns about the media
- how digital platforms have transformed the way we produce and consume film, TV, and other media; and
- the changing nature of professional practice in the screen industries and the impact of digital media on the broader world of work
In addition, you will be supported to:
- identify and explore key issues in digital and social media and their relationship to debates about other emerging technologies such as AI
- develop practical skills through creative tasks such as video essays and data visualisations; and
- cultivate transferrable teamwork, communication, and critical thinking capabilities
Authentic learning experiences, such as industry projects and assessment items, complement the theoretical course content and give you valuable opportunities to apply your knowledge and skills, and to tailor your degree to your interests.
We regularly review our courses to ensure and improve quality. This course may be revised as a result of this. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Find out why, when, and how we might make changes.
Our courses are regulated in England by the Office for Students (OfS).
