Film studies and french ba (hons)

Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll receive approximately 10 to 16 hours of weekly contact time, in the form of lectures led by academic staff, smaller seminar groups, language classes and workshop sessions.
You’ll spend up to five hours per week in language classes – in small groups of no more than 20 for classroom or language lab teaching, and no more than 10 for oral and aural work.
For every hour spent in class, you'll complete a further two to three hours of independent study.
Assessment
Most modules combine assessed coursework and an end-of-module exam, though the proportion may vary. Some modules, including the practical ones, are assessed by coursework only. Final-year students will pursue a sustained piece of research or to develop an extended film production project or long script.
