BA Film Studies

  • Objectives The course introduces you to relevant theoretical approaches to Film Studies in order to broaden your knowledge of international film culture. A central component of the course is the opportunity for direct practical experience (through practice projects in short film-making and documentary), enabled by advanced digital editing suite facilities. A combination of historical, theoretical and cultural approaches informs teaching and learning through staff expertise in the fields of American, British, European and World cinema. Links are drawn between theory and industry practice, providing a strong awareness of contemporary film culture. You will also develop transferable skills through our student-led seminars.
