Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll receive approximately eight hours (or 16 hours including screenings) of weekly contact time, in the form of lectures, smaller seminar groups and language classes.
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
Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework and an end-of-module exam, although some modules, including the practical ones, are assessed by coursework only. Final-year students have the opportunity to pursue a sustained piece of research or to develop an extended film production project or long script.

the Queen Mary library
our state-of-the-art 41-seater cinema
professional and broadcast-standard production and post-production equipment, including a film production suite, two film studios with professional lighting grids, two edit suites, and motion capture equipment
