Explore film from every angle and build skills that open doors across the creative industries.
A dynamic, practical look at film – from its history and global impact to the creative and industrial processes behind what we see on screen. You’ll study how cinema works, why it matters, and get the chance to try out practical skills like video‑essay making and festival curating.
Film shapes the way we see the world, and this course helps you understand that influence from a global, inclusive perspective. It aligns with the University’s commitment to decolonisation and global citizenship, giving students the tools to think critically, creatively, and internationally about the stories that shape society.
You can tailor your final project to what you love – deep‑dive research, creative work, or a mix of both. Whether you dream of film criticism, curation, production, or a broader creative career, the course equips you with versatile skills, confidence, and a strong portfolio to take into the next step.
As one of world’s top universities, Leeds offers a range of academic modules that align with my passion and interest for film development, particularly in the realm of contemporary cinema.
