This course discovers film from the late 19th century to the modern day while developing your professional practice under the guidance of internationally renowned artists and curators at one of the UK's top ten art departments. Explore both the practical and theoretical sides of art and film and investigate how each discipline has influenced the other. The studios are a busy place with events, screenings, performances and exhibitions happening regularly. There are regular trips to museums and art galleries to prompt thoughts on how art is displayed and received. You will gain professional experience throughout your degree by taking part in your own exhibitions, public art commissions and events. Placements and collaborations are actively encouraged and there is also the chance to experience life in another country by studying abroad. Opportunities for work-based learning and personal development complement your core learning. As well as the practical experience gained on this degree our students also graduate with a range of transferable skills, such as self-motivation, time management and strategic thinking. They have greater self-confidence and are better able to express themselves. We also incorporate Careers development into your learning from your second year. Many of our graduates develop successful careers as artists, writers and curators. These include a number of famous alumni, such as Turner-prize nominated artists, and PhD students who are award-winning artists and curators at influential museums. Others have found employment in galleries, education, art therapy and film and video production. Recent employers include Tate, White chapel Gallery, The Burlington Magazine, Christies, Microsoft, and the BBC.
