Film Studies is designed to deepen your understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of film, the major art form of the twentieth century, and one developing new modes of expression and exhibition in the first decades of the twenty-first century. The course builds on the cine literacy you have developed informally since childhood.

You will study film from a variety of production contexts and experienced in a variety of viewing situations. You will also engage with a wide range of different kinds of films, developing skills and observation, critical analysis and personal reflection, as well as developing your creativity and practical skills, either in audio-visual or written form.

Film Studies develops key skills in communication, problem solving, information and communication technology and working with others. It can lead to university degrees in Media, Communications and Film, or any number of humanities subjects. The personal skills and confidence that the course fosters mean that many former students to on to jobs in advertising, PR and the media.
