The BA Screen Industries and Entertainment offers you the chance to study screen entertainment media in a rapidly evolving industrial global environment.
Privileging perspectives rooted in the arts, humanities and cultural studies, the programme is an ideal pathway for students with ambitions to work in the entertainment industry, and those with aspirations towards postgraduate study.
The emphasis of the programme is on the global interconnectedness of screen industries and experiences of entertainment, moving beyond Eurocentric approaches to the subject.

Covering a range of screen media (film, television, streaming, virtual-augmented reality, games, music) and the industries they operate in, the programme allows you to engage with multiple facets of global screen industries.
Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching and assessment, operating facilities such as libraries, IT equipment, and access to academic and personal support.
