Film & TV and History - BA (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

This degree allows you to study a comprehensive range of national and international film and TV industries and eras and wide geographical and chronological modules in history ranging from the medieval period to the 21st century. You can choose to maintain a breadth of subjects or specialise in particular areas as you progress through your degree and there are multiple opportunities for you to combine your knowledge and skills derived from both disciplines to generate new knowledge and communicate this in innovative ways to diverse audiences.Through a mix of academic study, placements, employer briefs, field trips and diverse and creative assessments, you’ll explore and learn to communicate the relevance of history in the context of current global challenges. You will also gain an exceptional knowledge of film and television’s first hundred years, and how these cultural artefacts both reflect and shape the societies that created them, thereby discovering your own perspective on how British, European and World history intersect and interact with the film and television industries.Combining these two fields of study can lead to a powerful and inspiring career path. Our approach ensures that you will graduate with a wide range of academic, digital and professional skills and attributes that are highly valued by employers, and ready to pursue a successful career in range of potential roles, such as a teacher, writer or journalist, public relations and social media manager. Graduates also enter sectors relating to research, communications, marketing, publishing and the legal profession.
