On our BA (Hons) Writing and Film Studies, you’ll discover the fascinating ways in which writing and film intersect.
As well as developing your creative writing skills, including screenwriting and short stories, you’ll have the chance to explore professional writing techniques, including film reviews. Combining these with a study of critical writing, you’ll discover new ways to express your literary talent.
You’ll also investigate film-making practices from all over the world and learn the language of film from the perspective of a film-maker. This, along with full training in camera operation, sound recording and editing, will help you create your own explorative short films in video, animation or 16mm format.
Our teaching staff, which includes many published writers and professional film-makers, will offer you invaluable feedback on all of your practical work – as will your fellow students. This will give you the unique opportunity to consider a range of responses to your work, as well as to sharpen your own critical skills. You can also seek advice on your writing from our Royal Literary Fund fellows.
If there is a particular career that you are working towards, or interests that you want to explore, you can specialise further on our optional modules, including areas such as poetry and film art. You can even continue to practise your film-making, and create a project for screening at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse.
Throughout the course you’ll have the chance to take part in extra-curricular events such as the Cambridge Film Festival, as well as attend guest lectures from key figures in the film industry. Our past speakers have included Terence Davies, Jayne Parker and Peter Gidal.
