What can you do with a Film, Television or Animation degree?

If you have aspirations of becoming a screenwriter, producer, director or animator then a degree in Film, Television or Animation provides the foundations for a career in cinema. Studying Film, TV or Animation also offers the opportunity to develop a varied skillset and try different specialisms such as documentary filmmaking, editing, sound design, post-production and publicity. 

As well as working in the film industry, graduates could also pursue careers in other media sectors such as gaming, publishing, marketing, music and sport. 

A degree will teach you the technical skills needed to work in the film industry. If you’re studying on campus, our professional film and television facilities include production studios, editing suites, animation studios, green screens, radio control rooms and a 129-seat cinema.  

Through lectures and industry masterclasses you’ll gain experience in sound design, lighting, editing, post-production, visual effects, screenwriting, storyboarding, colour grading, rigging, facial capture and stop-motion animation – many of the core skills needed in modern productions. 

Students are also taught industry-relevant business practices such as legal, social and ethical issues and codes of practice when filming; particularly useful if you’re looking to work as a freelancer, or start your own production company.
