About BA Film and Spanish
This course combines film with the study of Spanish. It will suit those with an enquiring mind and a passion for exploring the culture of another country and society.
Spanish is the second most widely spoken European language in the world and is the second language of the USA. Studying a modern language, in the context of its speakers' history, literature, experience and outlook, can broaden horizons and challenge preconceptions, including those about one's own language and country.
In our Department of Film and Television, guided by leading scholars and practitioners, you will explore the history of film and television, consider theoretical perspectives, appreciate how films are made and engage in practical film-making activities.
You will study film alongside Spanish language, history and culture units, choosing from a wide range of options that allow you to pursue your own interests. Both departments offer a vibrant learning environment with research-led teaching.
You will spend your third year abroad on a work or study placement in a Spanish-speaking country, refining your language skills and cultural understanding. You will return to Bristol for your final year, where you will have the chance to undertake a placement in the creative industries.
