The BA Film & Television Studies at the University of Exeter invites you to explore the dynamic world of screens, from the historical evolution of cinema to the contemporary landscape of television industries. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those fascinated by how moving images shape culture, society, and global conversations, offering a critical lens through which to understand film theory, history, and the business of media. You will develop essential analytical skills to interrogate diverse cinematic forms and the industrial contexts that produce them, preparing you for a deeper engagement with the power of visual storytelling.
This full-time, on-campus programme is structured over three years, beginning with compulsory modules that establish a robust foundation in major debates in film theory and the contemporary film and television industries. As you progress, you will have the flexibility to select optional modules, allowing you to specialise in areas such as adaptation, specific national cinemas, or even filmmaking, alongside potential co-listed modules from humanities and communications. In your final year, you will undertake a significant dissertation, either academic or creative, culminating in a degree that equips you for careers in media, cultural industries, or further academic study.
