Film and history are closely linked, with roots going back to the earliest days of cinema. We offer this exciting and challenging film and history degree for movie lovers and history buffs. You'll study film history from a variety of perspectives: as popular art, big business and as a cultural record.

You'll study familiar classics alongside contemporary cinema. Genres you'll explore include:

• film noir
• horror
• science fiction
• documentary
• animation

You'll deepen your understanding and enjoyment of film, and develop your critical thinking as part of a lively community.

History modules will cover the development of historical debates and imagining the past. Topics range from ancient societies to the war on terror.

Our Framing the Past module looks at cinema's relationship with history. You'll study films about the distant past of Greece, Rome or Egypt. You'll also study works from more recent times, such as heritage films about the British Empire or the Titanic.

Some of our graduates go on to careers in film and media, including film production, editing and post-production, distribution and marketing. Others continue into postgraduate studies or find employment in careers such as:

• advertising, marketing and PR
• arts based careers
• charities
• civil service
