The Film & TV and History BA at Nottingham Trent University invites you to explore the intricate relationship between visual storytelling and the past. This undergraduate degree is designed for intellectually curious students eager to understand how film and television both reflect and shape societal narratives, while simultaneously delving into the complexities of historical events and their enduring impact. You will engage with critical theories in film and television studies, alongside historical analysis of periods from the late 18th century to the present day, developing a nuanced perspective on culture, politics, and human experience.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this programme offers a dynamic learning experience. You will develop skills in close textual analysis of film and television, historical research methodologies, and interdisciplinary thinking. The curriculum includes opportunities for practical application, such as a work placement in your second year, and culminates in a major project where you can pursue a dissertation or creative project in either discipline. You will graduate with a versatile skill set, prepared for diverse career paths in the creative industries, heritage, research, or further academic study.
