MArts Film and Television with Innovation (4M50)

The innovators of the 21st century think across arts, science, engineering, humanities and enterprise to deliver innovative products, services and ways of living. They will be team players with a breadth of skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures.

This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside interdisciplinary, practice-based learning. In conjunction with your film and television studies, you will apply your subject knowledge by translating ideas into innovative solutions, which may include plans for digital and creative enterprises, both social and commercial.

The course will equip you to use the critical, theoretical and practical skills that are central to film and television. Through historical and conceptual study, you will be able to analyse, research, interpret and understand film and television from a critically and contextually informed perspective. You will learn to explore practical and creative approaches by acquiring and applying filmmaking skills.

Group work is a core component of teaching and learning in Innovation. You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as economics, music and computer science. Each subject contributes a different perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. By drawing on your unique ideas and views on the world, you will learn from your subject and other students to develop innovative solutions together. You will also develop personal skills with opportunities for individual development and pursuit of topics and projects driven by your own interests and values.

By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services, and how to sustain new endeavours including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you through your studies.
