Film Production and Theatre with Placement

Do you want to combine your love of theatre with your passion for films?

Do you want to work in an industry which transforms the ways in which we experience the world – whether on stage or on screen?

If so, the joint Theatre and Film Production degree at Brunel may be just what you’re looking for!

In addition to your theatre coursework, you will have the opportunity to make short films whilst studying on a range of modules that focus on how screen media have been variously theorised. You will have the flexibility to map your own route through the programme by combining theory and practice modules in a way that work best for you, and this joint degree can be as hands-on as you make it! On the theatre side of the programme, you will explore a wide variety of specialisms ranging from acting, applied drama, theatre making, musical theatre, physical theatre and playwriting.

As a joint Theatre and Film Production student, you will have access to camera, sound, lighting and editing equipment through Brunel’s Media Teaching Centre. Training on the technology is embedded into this degree programme and as a student you have access to this equipment both in and out of term time. Finally, as a joint student, you can take advantage of the Film and Television’s partnerships with ScreenCraft Works and the BAFTA albert programme, among others.

Our editing suites have up-to-date production software such as Adobe Creative Cloud; Avid Media Composer; Avid ProTools, and others. We also have a range of high quality camera (including a Netflix approved 12K camera), sound, lighting, and grip equipment for you to use throughout your degree – whether that is for course work or for your personal projects outside of the classroom.

Put your learning into practice with the option of doing a placement year between your second and third year of study. With the support of our award-winning Student Development team, you can secure work experience that is a good fit in terms of your professional aspirations. If that’s not for you, though, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities over the course of your studies to hone your career.

The Film Production BA is a part of the BAFTA albert education partnership. This accreditation provides students with exclusive access to the industry’s BAFTA albert carbon calculator, a tool used by Netflix, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, UKTV and Sky when producing their content. Participating students will work towards creating environmentally-friendly, sustainable content.

Our academics are published researchers and award-winning filmmakers and can support you in establishing your own path in this exciting but competitive field.
