Program overview

What the University of Greenwich says about their program:

This film studies degree will help you view film from a different perspective. You'll study film history, understanding its broad social and cultural contexts to develop skills in critical analysis. You'll also learn about camera techniques and editing processes to shape your understanding of the medium.

The film and media industries are not just about production and post-production, but also roles in scriptwriting, marketing, distribution, historical research and archival work, education, organising live events, and studying audiences and identifying target markets for forthcoming media releases. Our degree prepares you for these career opportunities, as well as further study.

The Greenwich Campus is a popular location for film crews and has featured in Hollywood blockbusters such as Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides.
