The BA (Hons) Film & TV and Philosophy at Nottingham Trent University invites you to explore the profound relationship between visual storytelling and fundamental questions of existence, knowledge, and ethics. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those who wish to critically analyse the power of film and television while simultaneously engaging with major philosophical concepts, from moral theory to the nature of the self. You will develop a sophisticated understanding of how media shapes our perceptions and how philosophical inquiry provides the tools to question and interpret the world around you, preparing you for a dynamic intellectual journey.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over three years, blending theoretical exploration with practical analysis. You will delve into film and TV styles, explore global philosophical traditions, and examine applied ethics, culminating in a significant final-year major project where you can pursue a dissertation or creative project in either discipline. Throughout your studies, you will engage with real-world issues, potentially through work placements or international exchange opportunities in your second year. You will graduate with enhanced critical thinking, analytical skills, and a unique perspective, ready for careers in media, cultural industries, education, or further academic research.
