Course summary

The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, economics, and enterprise skillsets to come up with purpose-driven solutions that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities and work across specialisations, cultures and industries.

This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside practice-based learning delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's multiple award-winning teaching team. In conjunction with your film and television studies, you will learn to apply design thinking methods to grow a moment of inspiration into feasible plans that could include launching social and commercial enterprises.

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 critically and contextually informed perspectives. You will learn to explore practical and creative approaches by acquiring and applying filmmaking skills.

Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will join up with students from other innovation disciplines, such as economics, music and computer science, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledges to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams to build in-demand professional skills in how to communicate, deliver actionable results, and give value to your unique interests and contributions.

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 throughout your studies.

Film and television units are taught at Clifton, while innovation units are taught at Temple Quarter.
