BA (Hons) in Media Studies and Film & TV Studies

What is Joint Honours?

With joint honours, you can study for an honours degree in two or even three subjects. Find out more about joint honours.

Media Studies

A joint honours degree is perfect for you if you want to study more than one subject. You can combine Media Studies with one or two other joint honours courses that are offered at our Derby Campus to create your own joint honours degree. You will be taught with students studying BA (Hons) Media Studies, but the modules you'll study will depend on how you decide to combine the subjects you choose.

You'll develop a high level of media literacy and an understanding of forms of media power and manipulation.

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.
