Bringing together theory and practice, our Film and Media course draws from the University of Stirling's legacy as a pioneer in Film and Media research and teaching.
This course not only ensures you're well-versed in theoretical and critical aspects of the subject area, but also have the opportunity to become fully trained in practicalities such as audio production, video editing, screenwriting and more. Our emphasis on all-round training means you'll graduate ready to follow in the footsteps of previous Stirling students who have forged successful careers in a range of media roles - from broadcasting and publishing, to advertising and public relations.
You'll study in a stimulating environment marked by world-class teaching and invaluable opportunities to be part of our campus television, filmmaking and radio stations. There are also regular visits from members of our professional advisory board - who are experts able to bring crucial insights from the front-line of industry directly to you. Adding flexibility to your studies, you can combine Film and Media with a wide range of other courses, and tailor your degree to match your unique interests and ambitions.
