This degree recognizes cinema’s role as a major cultural form and investigates film through a variety of approaches. You will examine cinema’s aesthetic, social and political importance in the context of an increasingly visual and media-orientated culture, while also investigating the intersections between contemporary art, theatre, dance, music, sound and film. At Lancaster, Film is primarily an academic programme, although film students have the opportunity to make their own digital film in all three years of the course. It has excellent technical resources, including state-of-the-art digital editing equipment housed in Lancaster University’s Television Unit. While this degree is not a practical training programme in film-making, recent Film graduates have gone into production roles at the BBC, ITV and MTV, independent film production and jobs in advertising, marketing and media production. Film graduates are well placed to pursue postgraduate vocational training in media-related professions, such as broadcast and print journalism, or take their skills into promotional and marketing roles. Many of our graduates go on to further vocational training in film production, including the prestigious New York Film Academy and London Film School. Some Film Studies graduates have gone into teaching, or pursued postgraduate study and research in Film.
