And you’ll learn how to approach film and television as art, history, culture, entertainment and commerce. You’ll have opportunities to get involved in Hull’s writing and film culture beyond your studies. Students have shared their work through readings, performances and publications, including initiatives such as HUWrites, which offers platforms for showcases and student-led podcasts.
There have also been opportunities to design, edit and publish for our in-house magazine, Document 1. And in film, you’ll get the chance to earn CV-boosting experience on a placement. This could be through our involvement with Screen Yorkshire's Connected Campus.
