Film Studies (Hons) University of Liverpool

Overview

Films have been vital cultural outputs for over one hundred years. The context in which they are produced and distributed is constantly changing but their importance as documents of our times remains, as does the pleasure they give to audiences across the world and their potential influence on the way those audiences may see the world.

Key Features

• The students in the Film Studies (Hons) BA programme from University of Liverpool have an interest in world cultures and a desire to fully appreciate the ways in which these cultures have expressed themselves through film. We encourage you to become an independent learner and can offer a variety of support to aid this development.
• Students develop a high level of creative, intellectual, analytical, digital and interpersonal employability skills as well as intercultural and transnational awareness.

Career opportunities:

The industry specific knowledge that you can acquire from a Film Studies degree will prepare you for a wide range of film-related careers in production, distribution, marketing, film writing and more broadly in media-related careers locally, nationally and internationally.

The programme more broadly allows students to develop transferable skills – critical thinking, writing and communication skills, presentation skills, independent research – which are crucial for a variety of careers beyond film and media.

Career paths could include:

• Film and media companies (development, finance, marketing, distribution, exhibition, retail)
• Writing for film related publications (trade press, newspapers, journals, blogs)
• Film-related organisations (film festivals, film offices, film institutes, film libraries, film archives).
