**This combined degree encourages film lovers to combine their passion with the media skills that will allow them to communicate ideas in new and innovative ways.**<br/><br/><br/>- Work in a professional environment with industry-level equipment.<br/><br/><br/>- Collaborate with professionals and microbusinesses on real-life projects.<br/><br/><br/>- Our award-winning staff champion inclusivity and accessibility to prepare you for life as a forward-thinking professional.<br/><br/><br/>Combine a more traditional programme of film studies with innovative media studies modules to expand your understanding of new media and visual communication. Look at all things “screen” – from social media bites to feature-length productions, digital billboards and film theory.<br/><br/>Throughout your time at Bath Spa, you’ll have the support and guidance of our course leaders, who are award-winning experts and innovators in their fields. You’ll get the chance to use our state-of the-art film facilities in our studios, with cameras, mixing desks and editing suites. You’ll have the opportunity to work in the University’s new city-centre innovation hub for creative media technology.<br/><br/>On this degree you’ll develop and challenge your thinking about film and media. An emphasis on diversity, inclusion and accessibility allows you to explore pertinent topics such as decolonisation, building inclusive audiences and think about sustainability. By studying international and transnational film and de-centred audiences, as well as exploring new and innovative media and communications strategies, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running as a confident professional in the ever-evolving world of work.<br/><br/>**Why choose this combination?**<br/>Students on this course will benefit from the core skills of both degrees. You’ll learn film theory and practical techniques, and explore the industry. You’ll also use your media skills to communicate your ideas in engaging and creative ways. Film underpins this degree, while the media modules give you greater flexibility in career options and develop your professional skills in communication.<br/><br/>**More about the Professional Placement Year**<br/>A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where you undertake a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between your second and final years of undergraduate study. You can engage in multiple placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) yourself, with support from the Careers team. The PPY Bursary can make work experience more accessible, with students undertaking a PPY able to receive between £500 and £1,500 to be used towards placement costs such as travel, food, workwear or accommodation.
