2. Duration and Entry requirements
• The duration of this course (Film and Media) is three years. There is
no option to study abroad or spend a year in industry.
• The entry requirements for the course at this university are DDM. I
believe that once I finish my second year project I will meet the entry
requirements for this course.

3. Course Modules
• ‘Our three-year Film and Media degree focuses on developing your practical skills in
documentary film-making alongside an understanding of journalism practice. You’ll also
explore media and cultural studies, so you graduate ready for your role in industry.
• Your degree is led by our experienced academics and award-winning film-makers. You
will develop a range of professional skills to prepare you for your future, such as:
• documentary film-making skills
• writing and multimedia practice for journalism
• critical reflection and essay-writing skills
• online communication and media analysis
• You will become a sophisticated, creative and confident documentary film-maker, able to
contextualise your own film practice within media, journalism and creative industries’

4. Career Opportunities, Cost and Travel
• As for career opportunities, this course allows students to pursue roles
in major media and creative industries, independent documentary and
film production companies.
• The cost for this course falls at £9250 a year for three years, which I
believe I will be able to pay as I fall under the category for maximum
financial help. As this university is close to my home now, it would
only take 30 minutes to an hour to get there, but I would still move
into accommodation, which would shorten the travel time.
