Film and Screen Studies
Film and Screen Studies at Bath Spa University comprises an exciting opportunity for you to study film and screen alongside aspects of the new media, together with some optional practical work in film planning and production.
Film and Screen Studies is an interdisciplinary field drawing on theories and methodologies from the social sciences and humanities and from specific subjects, such as Sociology, History, Media Communications, Cultural Studies and English Studies.
Part of the intellectual excitement of studying film and screen is found precisely in this interdisciplinary and the debates, tensions and rewards of pursuing an interdisciplinary approach to complex social and cultural phenomena and processes.
Throughout the Film and Screen Studies programme there is a deliberate emphasis upon student engagement with, and applied analysis of diverse aspects of the film and screen industries, whether relating to structures and processes of film and cinematic institutions, film representations or film audiences and reception. This makes for an especially topical, lively and engaged programme of study. Film and Screen Studies aims to produce graduates who have an informed, critical and creative approach to both understanding film and screen in contemporary society and to their own forms of critical, reflective and communicative practice. The programme is also committed to enabling you to meet the challenges of employment in a society, in which the communicative and cultural industries play an increasingly central role, by developing your intellectual, analytical, research and creative skills.
