Overview

Our Humanities Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study. You’ll focus on the topics which interest you, and you'll also create a toolkit of essential academic skills.

Film and Television Studies (with a Foundation Year) (Hons) provides a supportive and rewarding learning environment. You'll study with dedicated lecturers from University of East Anglia ’s Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities. You’ll explore a wide range of academic subjects including Film and Media, alongside Literature, History, Philosophy and Politics. We’ll help you make connections between different disciplines to spark your curiosity. We'll also encourage you to work towards your own individual learning goals.

After the Course

Once you successfully finish your Foundation Year, you’ll go straight on to the BA Film and Television Studies degree.

If, during the year, you discover your interests and ambitions lie elsewhere, you can switch to one of the other degrees offered by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. In the case of BA Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism, you’ll need to pass an interview; in the case of BA degrees with Creative Writing, you’ll need to submit a short portfolio of your writing (c. 5 pages) for approval by the Creative Writing team.

Explore your options, look at our courses, and decide where you want your degree to take you.
