Film & Television, BA (Hons)

Course summary

Develop your creative confidence and ‘voice’ through experimentation and exploration in our purpose-built, industry-standard Minghella Studios, a dynamic collaborative environment in which film, theatre and television makers work alongside each other. You'll have access to three flexible theatre spaces, a multi-camera film and TV studio (featuring Arri Alexa film cameras), a digital cinema, and a dedicated recording studio and mixing suite with state-of-the-art equipment. The Reading area has the UK's fastest-developing film economy, with the construction of a major film studio just a few miles from our campus on the University’s Thames Valley Science Park. Staff in our department collaborate closely with the management of Shinfield Studios to develop opportunities for University of Reading students. In 2023, this partnership, together with local provider Resource Productions, has been awarded major funding from the British Film Institute to create one of the UK's seven centres of screen-skills training.For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/film-and-television-ug/ba-film
