Why Lancaster?

  • Deepen your knowledge of global film history through our innovative programme while also gaining practical film making experience
  • Enjoy 24/7 access to our editing suites and specialist equipment, including cinema-ready digital cameras
  • Feel inspired as you learn from our team of distinguished academics
  • Make use of Lancaster’s stunning surroundings for the perfect film setting – cityscape, rural backdrop or coastal charm
  • Equip yourself for an exciting career in film production, the creative industries and related professions such as media or advertising

From studying silent cinema or exploring the James Bond franchise to delving into modern day Asian British films, our degree helps you explore cinema’s cultural and political importance while perfecting your film making skills.

Putting theory into practice

You’ll study cinema history and analyse the significance of films in society. Benefit from our varied programme as you learn about the Hollywood industry alongside world cinema or explore the development of film and comic books.

At the same time, you’ll be developing your practical skills in our film production modules by experimenting with narrative films or documentaries. You can also get involved with our student film journal, Cut/To, which includes video essays and spotlight interviews.

First-class resources

We provide top-of-the-line production equipment so you can create your own original content. Make use of our cinema-ready digital cameras with prime lenses, DSLR cameras, versatile set lighting, grip equipment and the full Adobe Creative Cloud in our acoustic editing suites.

You’ll benefit from our partnership with the British Film Institute by attending our joint master classes and visiting their film archive. In addition, we sometimes organise trips to places like Media City in Salford, Greater Manchester. You can also get involved with our active film production society or student-run Cut/To film journal.


Sometimes known as a year in industry, your placement year will take place between your second and final year of study and this will extend your degree to four years.
