Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Film and Visual Culture and Politics (F667)

Film and Visual Culture is an intellectually stimulating degree that combines practice and theory, giving students the opportunity to both create and analyze a range of cultural texts - from fiction film and documentary, to photography and animation.

This degree is underpinned by creative and critical practice. It is creative because it gives students the opportunity to develop practical skills in the fields of screenwriting, filmmaking (drama and documentary), photography and animation. It is critical because it involves the in-depth study of film history and theory, including the way in which cinema intersects with a range of social and political issues. Students will graduate with a degree underpinned by academic rigor, but with the transferable skills needed to pursue a wide variety of careers in the creative industries.

The Politics program will allow students to explore key ideas, institutions and politics in an international, national and local context. They will be taught by staff who are experts in their fields, who will teach them to engage with political research and develop the capacity to be an independent, critically-minded scholar. The course also aims to equip students with transferable skills to take into the world of work.
