University
University 1
Degree Level: Undergraduate
Course : Film and Media
Requirements: 96 UCAS points (equivalent to 4 GCSEs grade 4 and above, or BTEC Level 3 Diploma)
Application deadline: 26th January
This is a full-time course over a 3 year duration on Cambridge campus. It involves combining film and media theory with practical skills including film-making, animation and digital publishing. I will create my own short films in video, animation or 16mm format. Working in professional TV and film studios, I'll be trained in all aspects of the craft, including camera operation, sound recording and editing. You’ll also be able to focus on particular areas of interest, including digital publishing (building apps), radio production, screenwriting and computer coding. As a Film and Media student at ARU, I'll learn the language of film from the perspective of a film-maker, and use this to inform my own short films. I’ll also have the opportunity to carry out a work placement, or produce a commissioned product, in the area of my choice as I prepare for a career in film and media related roles, including production, post-production, digital content creation and journalism. In my final year, my moving image work will be screened at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse. The best films will also be selected for showing at the annual Cambridge Film Festival. Recent students have found internships and placements with companies including the BBC, Cannes Film Festival, Sight and Sound magazine, MTV, and Zenith Productions.
