Course Description
Film and television entertain, inform, promote ideologies and help us communicate and connect across the world.
North America also has a global impact through its power and culture.
If you want to explore how they do this, both independently and when combined, this joint honours degree is for you.
Film and Television Studies
You'll examine:
- economics and employment practices
- development and global operation
- ever changing audiences
- reflection of, and influence on, society
- decision makers and processes
- adoption of new platforms and technologies
American Studies
You'll cover history, politics and culture. This will include literature, music and art as well as film and television.
You don't just study two separate subjects. We have specialist modules that combine them both to make the degree a coherent whole.
Through our Creative Student Network you'll also have opportunities to intern at global media organisations (such as Disney and the Art Directors Guild in Los Angeles, and Red Bee Creative in London).
