Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh
Course details
Course description
The film and media that we create and consume reflects our individual identities, our local and national cultures and the political players on the global stage. Our film and media degree will help you examine these topics using rigorous academic discipline and practical production techniques. Graduates are well equipped for careers in the creative industries and beyond.
On this course you will study film as an artistic and commercial enterprise, as well as various media institutions and the debates surrounding them. You will engage in deep critical thinking about culture, media and society as a whole. You will also develop real-world technical skills in video and media production, teamwork, academic research, project management and a variety of forms of communication.
Modules in the first two years will introduce you to key developments in film and media, and key concepts in film and media studies, including the emergence of cinema and the establishment of national broadcasting systems, and concepts such as narrative, popular culture and citizenship.
In Years Three and Four you choose specialist film and media options in, for example, television drama, screenwriting and photography. You can spend a semester in Year Three studying abroad with one of our exchange partners (subject to availability).
In Year Four you complete a written or production dissertation. Production dissertations can be in film, photography or screenwriting. You can choose a group production dissertation that adds another dimension if you want to specialise in a particular production role such as director, writer or editor.
