Film and Television Studies with a Year Abroad (Hons) University of East Anglia

Overview

Our Film and Television Studies with a Year Abroad (Hons) degree explores the past, present and future of these media and their creative and cultural contexts. You'll encounter foundational approaches to the analysis and creation of film and television, as well as choose from a range of modules to curate your own learning journey. From the historical dominance of Hollywood to the emergence of new global cinema, the impact of streaming services and the implications of AI technologies on creativity, our programme provides a comprehensive exploration of these evolving landscapes. University of East Anglia 's combination of creative and critical teaching offers you the opportunity to explore these ideas through close analysis, audience and industry research, screenwriting, and film and television production.  

Year Abroad

This four-year version of the course gives you the opportunity to spend the third year of your degree studying with one of UEA's many partner institutions across the globe, which offers teaching in your subject and in English. Destinations range from Japan to Hong Kong, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and Canada and the USA.  

Studying Abroad gives you the opportunity to broaden your academic and social horizons, giving you opportunities to develop your confidence and communication skills, while bringing a unique element to your CV that will help you stand out to prospective employers. Availability at our partner institutions does vary from year to year and we always recommend you bring an open mind about your destination preference. You'll also need to meet certain academic progression requirements (scoring an aggregate of 55% in your first- and second-year assessments). If for this or for any other reason you were to decide you were unable to spend your third year abroad, you can transfer to a three-year version of your degree at any time.
