<strong>Combine your passion for Film and TV with a deep understanding of history to build your future.</strong><br/><br/>This degree allows you to study a comprehensive range of national and international film and TV industries and eras and wide geographical and chronological modules in history ranging from the medieval period to the 21st century. You can choose to maintain a breadth of subjects or specialise in particular areas as you progress through your degree and there are multiple opportunities for you to combine your knowledge and skills derived from both disciplines to generate new knowledge and communicate this in innovative ways to diverse audiences.<br/><br/>Through a mix of academic study, placements, employer briefs, field trips and diverse and creative assessments, you’ll explore and learn to communicate the relevance of history in the context of current global challenges.
