BA Degree in Film Studies
Programme Overview
The BA degree in Film Studies aims to be a vibrant, cross-disciplinary programme that focuses upon historical, critical, theoretical, and practical approaches to the study of film.
It prepares students to work within the technologically driven, global, media revolution of the 21st Century, helping students to develop as leaders in their careers and communities. Through a close analysis of particular national and international examples, and with a specialist emphasis on intercultural themes, the degree examines the historical, political, artistic, technological and cultural aspects that go into cinema production.
A strong technical and practical element of the degree complements the theoretical component, with classes on topics such as video production, acting and screen writing, and documentary film production. Its elective courses allow students to develop a global awareness of film and related media within the framework of the liberal arts tradition.
