Teaching and learning A wide variety of teaching and learning methods are used within this programme including lectures, seminars, collaborative work, tutorials, practical workshops, screenings, peer group critiques and discussion, negotiated and independent study. Additional information This course is one of only a handful in the UK that offers you the opportunity to work with celluloid film as a medium. You will learn about the equipment and software that is currently being used in the moving image sectors, so you will be ready to start work in the industry when you graduate. We also encourage students to get involved in film festivals such as FIVE/24 which gives aspiring film makers a single day to write, shoot, edit and complete a film which will then be shown on the big screen at QUAD.
