Studying Film at Roehampton

You will have access to state-of-the-art film, editing, and studio facilities 

About the course

Apply for this course

This innovative programme allows you to study and produce film in its social, cultural and historical contexts while interrogating film form, either as a digital filmmaker or as a film theorist and historian, or as a combination of the two. Whether working critically with found footage to produce essay films or shooting documentaries on digital video, the emphasis is on intellectual rigour and audiovisual creativity. 

100% of the University of Roehampton's submitted work in Communication, Cultural and Media Studies was recognised either internationally or nationally, with 40% of that work regarded as being either "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" (Research Assessment Exercise 2008).
