BA Film Studies

  • Objectives Film is a special medium which inspires a loyal following, but it is also part of a wider media landscape. This is why we have designed a programme in Film Studies which integrates the study of contemporary film-making as well as film history into the broader study of culture and the mass media. Studying film at Surrey also allows you to gain practical insights into the process of creating moving images. You will be able to use the Department's digital filming and editing equipment and the professional studio located on the campus. Three, two, one, action!
  • Entry requirements Typical entry requirements A level grades BBB (300 points) Film Studies with French/German/Russian/Spanish require A level grade B in the relevant language. Please contact us for requirements for ab initio Russian/Spanish.
