Film Studies

Film is a vital form of cultural output. The way films are produced and distributed is constantly changing, but their ability to educate, entertain and inspire audiences remains the same. If you’re looking for a vibrant programme designed to explore all facets of film and the film industry, this BA (Hons) Film Studies degree is the right choice for you.

What exactly do film studies at university involve? You’ll explore a range of critical approaches to film, from developments in American and British cinema to representations of masculinity throughout Hollywood history. With a truly global focus, you’ll also delve into cinema from across Europe, Latin America, Asia and beyond, evaluating the role of cinema as a major entertainment industry as well as thinking about film as a political, socio-cultural and artistic proposition.

What’s more, this degree in film studies gives you the chance to learn alongside recognised scholars of film culture, with a wide range of specialist modules on offer that will help you align your course with the topics that interest you most. With industry links and a focus, especially, on areas like film journalism, film festivals and distribution and exhibition, this degree is also importantly designed to align you with the sector itself.
