Pursue your love of making and thinking about film and theatre – two major cultural industries in the UK – with our BA Film & Theatre course. <br/><br/>Develop your own creative confidence and voice through experimentation and exploration in the Minghella Studios, a dynamic, collaborative environment in which film, theatre and television makers in the Department of Film, Theatre & Television work with and alongside each other.<br/><br/>Film, theatre and TV shape the world around us and have the power to change minds. The creative arts are recognised by audiences, creators, and policymakers as powerful areas for economic growth, cultural debate and rights advocacy. In this degree, you’ll examine the cultural impact, cultural legacies and digital futures of these art forms, studying a diverse and international range of practices – from the mainstream to radical and experimental works – and the contexts from which they emerge. <br/><br/>Your practical work will be informed by the critical study of film and theatre, with the opportunity to also engage with TV. The aim is to enable you to specialise in your developing creative interests. You’ll experience all three media through collaborative practice of films, performances and television programmes, while applying theoretical knowledge to your work.<br/><br/>You will be taught by cutting-edge academics, industry professionals and a dedicated team of technicians. We support our students to become critically thinking, ethical practitioners, learning flexible strategies of design, knowledge exchange, and creative collaboration with other makers, as well as with communities, organisations, and funders.<br/><br/>You will also have the chance to undertake industry placements, professional collaborations, and study abroad opportunities, to develop your practice in a range of contexts.<br/><br/>Our studios are situated on the University of Reading’s green campus, a leader in sustainable practice across the higher education sector.
