Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Human Resource Management] From University of Roehampton

At the Univeristy of Reading studying the BA Art and Film and Theatre will bring together your individual practice with studies in film and theatre. Let your knowledge and skills in all three disciplines feed into one another to produce highly personal and individual work.

You will join a lively community at one of the top ten Art departments in the UK and explore a vast range of media and experiment with emerging art forms. Alongside your practical art you will study "Contemporary Art Theory" and the "History of Art". You will receive a dedicated studio space, accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, and a studio tutor to help develop your individual and professional practice.

Your teaching staff are all artists, curators and researchers of international standing and will encourage regular exhibitions and open debate.Trips to museums and art galleries will help prompt thoughts on how art is displayed and received. You will gain professional experience by taking part in your own exhibitions, public art commissions and events.

In film and theatre you can choose from a range of modules covering world cinema, avant-garde and experimental film-making, or the cinema of classical and contemporary Hollywood, such as musicals, melodrama, action cinema and the films of Alfred Hitchcock; study theatre from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, covering the work of playwrights such as Samuel Beckett, Caryl Churchill and Sarah Kane; together with a range of practices from verbatim to immersive, from site specific work to digital technology in performance; and investigate television from soap opera to sitcom to sci-fi.

Practical work complements your critical and theoretical study allowing you to apply what you learn through practice Ð drawing on the market-leading facilities of the £11.4 million Minghella building, including a film and television studio, cutting rooms and audio post-production facilities, three theatre spaces, and a digital cinema.

Placements and collaborations are actively encouraged and there is also the chance to experience life in another country by studying abroad. Opportunities for work-based learning and personal development complement your core learning.
