Film and Television Studies

During this course you will focus on the critical and theoretical study of the moving image, while exploring related topics such as scriptwriting and archiving and gaining work experience.

Throughout your studies you will develop an in-depth understanding of film and television using a wide variety of disciplines including history, psychology, cultural studies and politics. You will benefit from the broad range of expertise within your teaching team, which includes subjects such as third cinema, British television drama, cyberbodies and the international horror genre. Some of our lecturers are also award winning filmmakers in their own right, enabling them to enhance your understanding of film theory with their first hand experience of working in the industry.

History

This course is not just intellectually challenging and politically relevant, it's also entertaining, inspiring and moving. We want you to have more skills and abilities than those traditionally associated with history graduates. So as well as developing your academic skills, you'll learn how to apply your historical knowledge to different roles.

As part of this course, you'll have the chance to do fieldwork at a range of locations from rural country houses to industrial Manchester. You'll visit a variety of museums, art galleries, heritage sites and towns, so you can explore the practical and intellectual applications of history.
