About Film And Media Studies - BA (hons) in University of Kent

The programme consists of a balance between the two disciplines of Media Studies and Film, combining the core modules from each programme with a balance of options from the two.

Communication happens through still and moving images, spoken and written words, music, drawing and animation. In the 21st century the boundaries between these forms have blurred. On this programme, you examine how old and new media are creating meaning today and using our first-class resources create work of your own.

How is art different to entertainment? How do filmmakers, performers and artists express themselves using style and genre? What are the distinctions between ‘high’ and ‘low’ media? The teaching staff, leading researchers in the field, guide you to answering these questions and more. They help you understand how media shape us, and how you, through your creative practice, can shape media.

For over 30 years, Kent has been at the forefront of developing film as an academic subject. Our expertise means that you have a wide choice of areas to explore. As a joint honours student, you concentrate history, theory and criticism, as well as have the opportunity to learn screenwriting. You explore global cinema, engaging with films from different cultures, as well as a range of genres and styles. At a Film student at Kent, you benefit from having two cinemas on campus – the Gulbenkian cinema for public screenings, and the dedicated student cinema, the Lupino.
