Course Description:
These multi-disciplinary programmes aim to provide students with subject specific knowledge and more general skills, including knowledge of a variety of different kinds of texts (dramatic, filmic, televisual, literary), films, performances and programmes. Students will become familiar with the variety of critical perspectives and analytical methods within and between the disciplines. The courses aims to foster an independent approach to formulating problems and arguments, applying critical thinking to practical work and using the close reading and analytical skills that are fundamental to the subjects.
The University’s Strategy for Teaching and Learning has identified a number of generic transferable skills that all students are expected to have developed by the end of their degree programme. In following this programme, students will have had the opportunity to develop their skills relating to career management, communication (both written and oral), information handling, problem-solving, team working and use of information technology. Students are also expected to develop the ability to formulate and evaluate their own arguments and those of others, to translate subject-specific knowledge and skills to new environments, to find and use relevant information resources, to manage their time effectively, and use basic word-processing and IT skills and develop the ability to work co-operatively with others.
There is a strong practical strand in the Film & Theatre degree and students taking Television and Film & Theatre and English and Film & Theatre engage in practical work in several modules in the degree. All students have ample opportunity to participate in the wealth of practical work generated by across the Department of Film, Theatre & Television.
